This brief summarizes the results of a gender impact evaluation study, entitled Own and sibling effects of conditional cash transfer programs : theory and evidence, scholarship was provided in November 2005 in Cambodia. The study observed that conditional cash transfers have been adopted by a large number of countries in the past decade. Although the impacts of these programs have been studied extensively, understanding of the economic mechanisms through which cash and conditions affect household decisions remains incomplete. Children who received scholarships were about 20 percentage points more likely to be enrolled in school and 10 percentage points less likely to work for pay. However, the school enrollment and work of ineligible siblings was largely unaffected by the program. The overall impact of the program therefore represents the average across types-and will be weighted by the population share of each type. Funding for the study derived from Research Support Budget, Bank-Netherlands Partnership Program Trust Fund.
