Abstract

Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs have emerged as pivotal instruments in global efforts to alleviate poverty and promote socio-economic development. This research presents a chronological review of the evolution of conditionalities within CCT programs, focusing on the dimensions utilized from their inception to the present day. Employing a methodology rooted in chronological review, this study traces the historical development and changes in conditionalities, exploring their adaptation in response to shifting policy landscapes, societal needs, and emerging challenges. Through an exhaustive examination of literature, policy documents, and program evaluations, this research unveils the dynamic evolution of conditionalities within CCT programs. The four primary conditionalities associated with CCT programs that are being implemented globally are, in general, employment, health, education, and other dimensions. The CCT conditionality transformation demonstrates that some countries, such as Brazil, enhance the conditionality dimension, whereas Chile increases the dimension but later decreases it. The United States and Argentina remain in the existing dimensions but change the name and structure of the program, while Kenya reduces the conditionality component. The findings underscore the multifaceted nature of conditionalities and their pivotal role in shaping the effectiveness and impact of CCT programs. By elucidating the historical trajectory of conditionalities, this research provides valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders seeking to design and implement contextually relevant and impactful CCT interventions. Furthermore, the integration of religiosity as a new dimension within conditionalities highlights the potential for fostering holistic development and social cohesion within Asnaf communities, particularly through the lens of Zakat institutions.
