Programme Details
Programme objectives
Conditional cash transfer (CCT) pilot programme, financed with an IDB loan (1056/SF-HO). The programme was developed in parallel to the PRAF established in 1990 and implemented with national funds (which did not check conditionalities). One of the greatest innovations of PRAF/IDB Phase II was to include transfers to the offer by the size of population served. PRAF/IDB II incorporated an experimental design that allowed various impact evaluations carried out by IFPRI (International Food Policy Research Institute), becoming one of the main references of this type of programme.
