The overall objective of the pilot is to test how a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program could be implemented through a social fund using a community-driven development (CDD) approach, and to learn about what systems may need to be in place to achieve positive results for highly vulnerable populations. This project represents both the first time that a social fund agency was used to implement a CCT program in Africa, and the first time that a CCT program was delivered using a CDD approach. Specific objectives of this pilot project included (a) to develop operational modalities for the community-driven delivery of a CCT program through a social fund operation; and (b) to test the effectiveness of the community-based CCT model and ensure that lessons from the pilot inform government policy on support for vulnerable families.
