Two Cheers for CCTs

Published on 1 May 2007

In the rush to meet Millennium Development Goal (MDG) commitments to halve extreme poverty by 2015, ‘conditional cash transfers’ (CCTs) are being widely adopted as one of the most effective means of tackling poverty and social exclusion in developing
countries.

In recent years, CCT programmes have been established in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Jamaica, Mexico, South Africa and Turkey, and many more countries are piloting them with the support of the International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and donor governments (de la Brière and Rawlings 2006).
