Washington D.C. : World Bank, c2009. xviii, 361 p. : ill. (some col.), maps (some col.) ; 24 cm. A World Bank policy research report Includes bibliographical references (p. 329-350) and index. Introduction -- The economic rationale for conditional cash transfers -- Design and implementation features of CCT programs -- The impact of CCTs on consumption poverty and employment -- The impact of CCT programs on the accumulation of human capital -- CCTs : policy and design options. This report reviews the evidence on conditional cash transfers (CCTs), safety net programs that have become popular in developing countries over the last decade. It concludes that CCTs generally have been successful in reducing poverty and encouraging parents to invest in the health and education of their children. The CCT programs studied in the report span a range of low and middle income countries; large and small programs; and those that work at local, regional, and national levels. Although there are important differences between countries and regions in how CCTs are used, they all share one defining characteristic: they transfer cash while asking beneficiaries to make prespecified investments in child education and health.
