Assisting the Poor with Cash : Design and Implementation of Social Transfer Programs
Cash transfers can be defined as the
provision of assistance in the form of cash to the poor or
those who face a probable risk, in the absence of the
transfer, of falling into poverty. Cash transfers, broadly
defined, can be given in the form of social assistance,
insurance, near-cash tax benefits, and private transfers.
This note focuses on government programs, recognizing that
private transfers and public programs serve multiple
objectives, of which social safety net protection is just one.
