| Description: | Conditional cash transfer (CCT) pilot programme, financed with an IDB loan (1056/SF-HO). The programme was developed in parallel to the PRAF established in 1990 and implemented with national funds (which did not check conditionalities). One of the greatest innovations of PRAF/IDB Phase II was to include transfers to the offer by the size of population served. PRAF/IDB II incorporated an experimental design that allowed various impact evaluations carried out by IFPRI (International Food Policy Research Institute), becoming one of the main references of this type of programme. |

| Comments: | In order to carry out an impact evaluation, the population was divided in four groups: G1 = only received demand side incentives (bonus), G2 = received demand side incentives (bonus) and supply side interventions; G3 = only received supply side interventions; G4 = did not receive any incentive, but information about their socioeconomical behavior was collected. Promotes access to a package of services that include nutrition (Comprehensive Care Strategy for Children in the Community, AIN-C), health care and basic services |
