Study on Effectiveness of Cash Transfer Programs in Developing Countries

该项目旨在通过比较巴西、菲律宾和肯尼亚的计划，研究(有条件的)现金转移计划在发展中国家的成就和局限性。虽然这些方案是根据现金转移的基本原则设计和实施的，但这些国家的政策规划者和管理人员有足够的灵活性，可以根据不同的经济、财政和行政条件调整方案。发展中国家现金转移的激增与这些国家民主化后的政治密切相关，包括认为穷人可以积极参与政治和经济，共同负责减贫和社会发展。

The project aims to study the achievement and limitations of the (conditional) cash transfer programs in developing countries by comparing the programs of Brazil, Philippines and Kenya. While the programs were designed and implemented according to the basic principles of the cash transfers, the policy planners and administrators in the case countries were flexible enough to adjust the programs depending on the different economic, fiscal and administrative conditions. Proliferation of cash transfers in developing countries are closely related to the politics after democratization of these countries including the perception that the poor can be active participants of politics and economy as co-responsible for poverty reduction and social development.
