Abstract * Citation * Links ABSTRACT Cash transfers are an increasingly popular social protection mechanism throughout Latin America, where conditional cash transfers are dominant, and

Income Grant' feasible in Namibia? * Can cash transfers prevent inter-generational poverty in South Africa? * Even if conditionalities work, do women pay the price? * Can cash transfers
improve gender relations? * Are cash transfers susceptible to high food prices? CITATION insights 80, IDS, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK, 8 pp. LINKS * insights80.pdf *
