Direct Cash Transfers are financial payments made directly to individuals or households, often by governments or organizations. These transfers aim to provide immediate financial support, helping recipients meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. They can be unconditional or conditional, depending on whether recipients must meet specific criteria to receive the funds. Programs like Universal Basic Income and Conditional Cash Transfers are examples of direct cash transfer initiatives. These programs are designed to reduce poverty and inequality by providing a safety net for vulnerable populations, allowing them to improve their living conditions and invest in their futures.
