Title:
CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFERS: REDUCING PRESENT AND FUTURE POVERTY |
| Date:
2/12/2009
- 2/12/2009 |
| As the economic recession unfolds in the developing world, families living in poverty face unprecedented challenges. In countries where families are struggling to manage education and health access to their children, programs such as the Conditional Cash Transfers (“CCTs’) have demonstrated success in helping families access these necessities. On February 12, 2009, CCT specialists gathered to discuss a new World Bank report, “Conditional Cash Transfers: Reducing Present and Future Poverty.” Introduced by the World Bank’s Chief Economist Justin Lin, the session presented the findings and commentary from the report. The presentation was facilitated by Martin Ravallion of the World Bank’s Research Department. |
