“Savings-linked Conditional Cash Transfer Programs: A New Policy Approach to Global Poverty Reduction.”

Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs and policies have been recognized as effective in achieving certain poverty alleviation goals, such as better health and education. Recently practitioners, researchers and policy makers have begun to explore the potential of CCTs to enhance broader economic inclusion and poverty reduction through wealth accumulation.

Yves Moury, a leading researcher on CCTs, is CEO of Edge Finance, a social business focused on enhancing asset building by poor and low-income people. He also runs the Proyecto Capital at the Fundación Capital, a financial inclusion initiative in Latin America and the Caribbean.
