This study seeks to a description the evaluation of health and education service of conditional cash transfers (Program Keluarga Harapan-PKH) based on an input, process, and output. It’s programme between 2016 until 2017 has been implemented in District of Jetis, Bantul. This paper demonstrates the results of the evaluation, though this results hoped input for the decision to programme repaired. This article, however, it seeks programme make good from health and education service component. Thus, I found Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) or Progam Keluarga Harapan (PKH) programme have signed for even distribution of education and accessibility for health services on simply, particularly of pregnant wife and suckle. The importance of indicators at programme successfully, data validity has been doing of maximal. So, the candidate of participant didn’t perfunctorily in this programme. Hence, participatory of people (non-candidate) in this programme, also make good of indicators, which can be interdependent of control form another side. Eventually, the candidate of their programme, if not meet a demand just like the rule of manual books on 2016, they are can the punishment of exhortation, greeting, and defeasance of the programme. I also, however, found the weakness of tease enough, i.e. the beneficiary still considers that conditional cash transfer is only for a moment’s need, not thinking about long-term interests. In turn, the process of alleviating poverty is only 'patching the wound' rather than treating it to its problem needs.[Studi ini berupaya mengkaji tentang evaluasi layanan kesehatan dan pendidikan Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) berbasis input, proses pelaksanaan, dan output pada program yang sudah berjalan di Kec. Jetis, Bantul, dari tahun 2016 hingga 2017. Tujuan evaluasi yang telah dikaji, harapannya menjadi masukan bagi penentu kebijakan (decission) untuk memperbaiki program. Tulisan ini juga melihat keberhasilan program dari komponen layanan pendidikan dan kesehatan. Saya menemukan bahwa program Conditional Cash Transfers (CTT) atau PKH memiliki signifikansi nyata dalam pemerataan pendidikan dan akses yang mudah pada layanan kesehatan, terutama bagi ibu hamil dan menyusui. Indikator penting dalam keberhasilan program ini, validitas data berjalan secara maksimal, sehingga tidak asal dalam menentukan peserta penerima bantuan. Bukti keterlibatan masyarakat (non-peserta) dalam program juga menjadi indikator keberhasilan, sehingga bisa saling mengawasi antara satu sama lain. Alhasil, peserta yang tidak memenuhi kewajiban seperti aturan dalam buku pedoman 2016, mereka akan mendapat punishment mulai dari peringatan, teguran hingga pembatalan program bantuan. Namun saya juga menemukan kelemahan yang cukup mengusik, yaitu penerima manfaat masih menganggap bahwa bantuan langsung tunai bersyarat ini hanya untuk keperluan sesaat, tidak berpikir untuk kepentingan jangka panjang. Pada gilirannya, proses pengentasan kemiskinan hanya bersifat ‘menambal luka’ bukan mengobati hingga ke akar masalahnya (based needs).]

Savings, in the form of financial capital held in formal bank accounts, are an important factor in reducing poverty. They can stimulate financial inclusion of the poor, protect against unforeseen shocks, and fund long-term investments in human and economic development. However, the poor have limited options for formal savings. In recent years, governments around the world have begun to incorporate savings into their conditional cash transfer interventions. This paper focuses on such interventions by national and municipal governments in Latin America. While the evidence base is still too small to draw any firm conclusions about short-term benefits or long-term effectiveness, there have been positive outcomes from pilot projects and adapted savings-linked conditional cash transfer programs in some countries. To ensure successful program design and implementation, governments interested in savings-linked conditional cash transfers should make sure to fully assess the political, economic, regulatory, and infrastructural conditions present in their communities.

Latin American cash transfer programs have been implemented aiming at particular anticipatory scenarios. Given that the fulfillment of cash transfer objectives can be calculated neither empirically nor rationally a priori, I analyse these programs in this article using the concept of an “imaginary future.” I posit that cash transfer implementers in Latin America have entertained three main fictional expectations: social pacification in the short term, market inclusion in the long term, and the construction of a more distributive society in the very long term. I classify and date these developing expectations into three waves of conditional cash transfers implementation.

ABSTRACTConditional cash transfer programs (CCTs) have emerged as an important social welfare innovation across the Global South in the last two decades. That poor mothers are typically the primary recipients of the grants renders easy, but not necessarily correct, the notion that CCTs empower women. This article assesses the relationship between the world’s largest CCT, Brazil’s Bolsa Família, and women’s empowerment. To systematize and interpret existing research, including our own, it puts forth a three-part framework that examines the program’s effects on economic independence, physical health, and psychosocial well-being. Findings suggest that women experience some improved status along all three dimensions, but that improvements are far from universal. A core conclusion is that the broader institutional context in which the Bolsa Família is embedded—that is, ancillary services in health and social assistance—is crucial for conditioning the degree of empowerment obtained.

Abstract This article examines whether conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs have had a significant effect on reducing murder rates in Mexico and Brazil, using time-series municipal-level data on murders in both countries. The findings, over the period 2005–8, show that the greater the proportion of beneficiaries enrolled in a CCT program in each municipality, the lower the number of murders. There are, however, important differences between the two countries, with a much larger effect in Brazil than in Mexico. This holds even when controlling for GDP and levels of development.

Abstract Background Conditional cash transfers are widespread and effective for utilization of targeted health services, but there is little evidence of their influence on the utilization of non-targeted or extended general healthcare services. Using data from a population-based health utilization survey, we evaluated the influence of conditional cash transfers for maternal and immunization services on the utilization of healthcare services for acute childhood illnesses. Methods Participants included mothers or primary caretakers of children <2 y of age residing in 2407 households in urban Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. Mothers of children with illness in the preceding month were interviewed on presenting symptoms, provider choice and beneficiary status of maternal and immunization-based conditional cash transfer programs. Results Of 2407 children <2 y of age, about 48% reported being beneficiaries of maternal and immunization-based conditional cash transfers. Beneficiary status was associated with an increased use of public services (adjusted relative risk [aRR] 3.14 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.96 – 5.02]) but not the use of private services (aRR 1.42 [95% CI 0.97 – 2.08]) relative to home or informal care. Conclusions Our findings indicate financial incentives for use of maternal and immunization services could have an indirect, non-targeted effect on utilization of formal healthcare for acute childhood illnesses.

The Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) is a conditional social cash transfer program that provides assistance to Very Poor Households (RTSM) appointed as participants in the Conditional Cash Transfer program which is related to improving the quality of human life through education and health. This study aims to analyze the impact of Conditional Cash Transfers on ex-families who receive of Conditional Cash Transfers who go out independently in Pagelaran District with indicators of changes in economic conditions, changes in health quality, and changes in the quality of education. In evaluating the impact of this program, the researcher used the impact evaluation theory using The Most Significant Change technique (MSC) which is a participatory monitoring and evaluation technique that aims to obtain information about the most important changes in family life resulting from participation in poverty programs. The results of this study indicate that the Conditional Cash Transfer in Pagelaran District has a changing impact on the Former Beneficiary Family both positive and negative. Seen from the positive impact, the Former Beneficiary Family have experienced changes for the better, especially in the fields of economy and education. However, there has been change in the health sector because the informant of the Former Beneficiary Family in Pagelaran District was the recipient of assistance in the education sector. However, the negative side is the lack of compliance of former recipient families when they become participants in education.

Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs innovate by conditioning transfers to poor families on investments in the human capital of children and other family members. The Mexican CCT program Progresa/Oportunidades began in 1997 and has served as a model for many of the now over sixty countries with CCTs around the world, in large part due to its initial evaluation with an experimental design and numerous follow-up studies. This article reviews the literature on the development, evaluation, and findings of Progresa/Oportunidades, summarizing what is known about program effects, taking into account corrections for multiple-hypothesis testing.

This paper explains how an object – a sculpture of a Huastec goddess – has caused me to reflect differently on my doctoral dissertation work and how it has contributed to my research by helping to challenge and develop existing qualitative research methods used in my project. My research project investigates gender equality in the context of conditional cash transfers in Argentina in order to investigate whether they are empowering women. The sculpture of the Huastec Goddess has impacted on my research methods in different ways. Firstly, it has allowed me to emphasise the instrumentalisation of beneficiary women. Secondly, the Huastec sculpture has challenged my epistemological assumptions. Finally, the Huastec sculpture as an object moving from culture to culture and ending up in a museum as a collected artifact has encouraged me to think more carefully about the ethical implications of qualitative research.

Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) in Latin America has been marked by a closed top-down process led by coalitions of politicians and technocrats who have chosen patronage relationships as the most convenient interaction with beneficiaries of social programmes. The existence of this type of relationship forces beneficiaries to take part in long-term political alliances in exchange for economic benefits. What seems to be a symbiotic relationship for the parties ultimately can have negative consequences in terms of democratic values and a financial opportunity cost to implement more efficient social investment. The more the exchange persists, the more permanent welfare dependency will prevail in the region.
