Unconditional cash transfer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unconditional cash transfer (UCT) programs aim to reduce poverty by providing welfare programs without any conditions upon the receivers' actions. This differentiates them from conditional cash transfers where the government (or a charity) only transfers the money to persons who meet certain criteria.
Research has found unconditional cash transfers to be reasonably efficient, though not necessarily more so than conditional cash transfers under all conditions.
