Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs and policies have
proliferated in the past decade, proving effective in achieving certain
poverty alleviation goals, such as better health and education and
improved consumption. But what about the potential of CCTs to enhance
poverty reduction through economic inclusion and wealth accumulation?

the Global Assets Project convened a
group of experts to discuss the promise CCTs hold in promoting saving at the launch
of its policy brief, Savings-Linked
Conditional Cash Transfers.
