Conditional Cash Transfer
Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs are social assistance initiatives that provide financial aid to low-income families, contingent upon certain behaviors or actions. These conditions often include requirements such as ensuring children attend school regularly or receiving routine health check-ups. The goal is to encourage positive behaviors that can improve the well-being of families and break the cycle of poverty.
CCT programs have been implemented in various countries, including Brazil with its Bolsa Família program and Mexico with Oportunidades. By linking cash payments to specific conditions, these programs aim to enhance education and health outcomes, ultimately fostering long-term economic stability for beneficiaries.
