Conditional cash transfer
open-in-new
<p>Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs aim to reduce <a href="/facts/Poverty/hNLtrNmK">poverty</a> by making <a href="/facts/Cash_transfer/bYu3WFvW">cash transfers</a> conditional upon the receivers' actions. The government (or a charity) only transfers the money to persons who meet certain criteria. These criteria may include enrolling children into public schools, getting regular check-ups at the doctor's office, receiving <a href="/facts/Vaccinations/3SfpzPsd">vaccinations</a>, or the like. CCTs seek to help the current generation in poverty, as well as breaking the <a href="/facts/Cycle_of_poverty/yVsbBQjl">cycle of poverty</a> for the next through the development of <a href="/facts/Human_capital/Hxwb2I2P">human capital</a>. Conditional cash transfers could help reduce <a href="/facts/Feminization_of_poverty/3G8DwJtF">feminization of poverty</a>. </p>
