Resumen
Descripción
Countries around the world increasingly
rely on conditional cash transfers to boost health and
education outcomes for the poorest citizens. In developing
and middle income countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle
East, cash transfer programs are proving effective in a
range of areas, including as an incentive to get more girls
in school. In the Philippines, the World Bank teamed up with
the Government of the Philippines in 2007 to develop the
Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, a conditional cash
transfer program for the poor. An impact evaluation was
built into the program to measure the effect. Based on the
evidence, the Government of the Philippines has increased
the cash transfer amount for older students and expanded the
program to include children ages 15 to18, who were not
previously covered. As policy makers and development experts
continue to search for innovative ways to help the world s
poor, the findings from this evaluation will provide
much-needed evidence for designing increasingly effective programs.
