Conditional Cash Transfer Programs

Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Programs are social welfare initiatives that provide financial assistance to low-income families, contingent upon meeting specific behavioral requirements such as regular school attendance, healthcare visits, or nutritional monitoring. These programs aim to reduce poverty in the short term by providing immediate financial relief, while fostering long-term human capital development by incentivizing behaviors that improve education, health, and overall well-being. By linking cash transfers to conditions that promote social and economic progress, CCT programs strive to break the cycle of poverty and create more resilient and self-sufficient communities.
