ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on monetary transfers as a social safety net for the poorest and most vulnerable populations. The chapter explains how conditional cash transfers (CCTs) are designed to provide short-term impact to improve household income and consumption capacity and long-term impact through addressing the transmission of intergenerational poverty. The chapter also presents how to define transfer parameters and the formula for calculating transfer amount, as well as cash transfer delivery mechanisms and instruments to execute transfers. The execution of cash transfers is carried out in four stages: preparatory, implementation, reconciliation and results. This chapter provides insights into the importance of cash transfers for poverty reduction and improving the quality of life of vulnerable populations.
