摘要
This article compares the consolidated experience of conditional cash transfers in Latin America with a variety of models of cash transfers (CTs) in middle- and low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. We explore the recent literature with the aim to highlight the underlying political economy factors that have underpinned the emergence and scaling up of various kinds of social protection strategies in the two regions. Some implications and policy suggestions are drawn regarding the opportunities and challenges for CTs in the future. Related Articles Aideyan, Osaore. 2016.
