Abstract
Cash transfer programs have become the most
popular government welfare paradigm for many developing
countries in this new millennium. Cash transfer programs run by
providing a small cash transfer to the parents (very often those
below the poverty line) could be contingent on certain conditions,
such as sending children to school or visiting doctors regularly.
Cash transfer programs that have been implemented in many
countries across the world, aim to meet basic human
development targets. In recent times, cash transfer programs
have been carried out in 52 countries. This paper summarises the
experiences of some countries with cash transfer programs,
analysing and discussing program components and design—such
as, payments mechanisms and beneficing identification, as well
as selecting lessons learned. Also, attention will be given to show
the connectedness between cash transfer programs and gender
perspective. This paper will also shed light on cash transfer
program as a mechanism for social inclusion. Finally, the most
common criticisms of cash transfer programs will be given. This
paper attempted to rely on reports and articles, especially by the
scholars working on cash transfer programs who have produced
several studies since 2000. This paper serves as a useful reference
for researchers and academics working on the cash transfer
programs.
