PANTAWID PAMILYANG PILIPINO PROGRAM
(Conditional Cash Transfer in the Philippines)

HISTORY

Pantawid Program started in 2008 is one of the responses of the Philippine Government to the challenge of meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The program works to attain 5 out of the 8 MDGs namely: Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women Goal 4: Reduce child mortality Goal 5: Improve maternal health

This version of the government of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) was patterned after the successful poverty reduction and social development measures of some Latin and Caribbean countries:
|Country |Name of Program |Year Started |
|Brazil |Bolsa Familia |1995 |
|Mexico |Progresa/Oportunidades |1997 |
|Colombia |Familias en Accion |2000 |
|Honduras |Programa de Asignacion Familiar |2000 |
|Nicaragua |Red de Protection Social |2000 |
|Jamaica |Program for Advancement through Health and Education |2001 |
|Chile |Chile Solidario |2002 |

    Conditional Cash Transfer Case Study

    If I were to design a conditional cash transfer (CTT) program for the state of Arizona, I would design it in a way that would involve health professionals, educational boards, employment agencies, and banking officials. Those who fall below or are at the poverty line and those who are plagued with a mental disease (i.e. depression, anxiety, anorexia, etc.) that needs constant monitoring would qualify for this CTT program. The conditionalities for this program would be that individuals enrolled in this program: 1) must attend healthcare appointments for both themselves and children (if they have any) and submit to advised tests and vaccinations; 2) must enroll their children (if they have any) in school and continue to ensure that their children…

    Let Them Eat Cash By Christopher Blattman Summary

    Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) “targeted to the poor and made conditional on certain behaviors of recipient households” (Fiszbein et al. 45) while Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCTs) range from “non-contributory pension schemes, disability benefits, child allowance, and income support” (Baird, McIntosh, and Özler 1710). CCTs target the poor’s underinvestment in human capital, in terms of education and health. There are positive externalities from education and health, however with limited income and low perceived returns, the poor could be consuming below the private optimal level or their private optimal level is below the social optimal level (Fiszbein et al. 9-10). With better education and health, the poor have opportunities in escaping poverty in the future.…

    Pankration Research Paper

    Pankration was the most violent event in the ancient athletic competition. Pankration comes from the Greek pan (all) and kratos (power), which translates to “all power” (Arvanitis). It is a combination of pyx (boxing) & pale orthe (wrestling). It is hard to determine precisely when Pankration was established as a historical phenomenon, but some believe it originated from the myth of Herakles and the Nemean Lion. It is believed that Herakles was the patron of pankration because when the skin of the lion he fought was impenetrable, therefore biting, gouging, and sharp weapons were useless; Herakles had to wrestle the lion and in the end, he strangled the lion to death (Miller). Nevertheless, we certainly know that Pankration was introduced into…

    Explain the Difficulties That Developing Nations Experience as They Try to Break the Poverty Cycle

    In most nations where poverty is wide spread, the lack of funding from the nation’s government and the global community is almost always a major obstacle. Money is considered a language of its own; everybody understands it and will use it. Major components that can help people get out of poverty needs to be paid. But often the government of the developing nation spends so much money on welfare programs and food distribution programs that they have no money left over to try to pull the country out of poverty. That means the government cannot afford things like teachers and schools to educate their citizens, doctors and hospitals to combat the spread of disease, better farming equipment to increase the food supply, and much more.…

    The authorities recognize that debt relief under the initiative would provide a unique opportunity to free up resources for additional poverty reducing spending. They also recognize that debt relief under the initiative would provide a unique opportunity to free up resources for additional poverty reducing spending. They also recognize that, to enable the country to benefit from the resources made available for the overarching objectives of poverty reduction and economic growth, structural reforms initiated in critical areas , including governance and anti-corruption, need to be accelerated. Against this backdrop, the authorities formally communicated to the Fund and the World Bank (in a letter dated March 23, 2006) that they wished to initiate discussions on the possibility of debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative and, subsequently, under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI).…
