Abstract
The significance of conditional cash transfer programmes (CCTs) has grown in recent years, particularly in Latin America. Nicaragua?s CCT, the Red de Protección Social (RPS), had a short life span (2000?2006). Nonetheless, the programme received international acclaim for its achievements. The RPS regularly directed funds to female household heads conditional on the households? fulfilment of certain co-responsibilities (or conditionalities, as they were known until recently). These included children?s school attendance, medical check-ups at local health centres and mothers? participation in educational sessions.
