PODCAST: A New Approach to Global Poverty Reduction-- Savings-Linked CCTs

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?

 On April 29, 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.  

Join Jamie Zimmerman as she reveals lessons from the paper and highlights from the event, including remarks made by co-author Yves Moury (Proyecto Capital), and commentators Michelle Adato (IFPRI), Mark Pickens (CGAP), Marguerite S. Robinson, and Luis Tejerina (IADB).
