Social Protection Brief: The Social Protection Support Project in the Philippines
Schelzig, Karin | July 2015
Abstract
ADB Briefs are based on papers or notes prepared by ADB staff and their resource persons. The series is designed to provide concise, nontechnical accounts of policy issues of topical interest, with a view to facilitating informed debate. The Department of External Relations administers the series. In this issue, ADB Briefs talks about the Pantawid Pamilya conditional cash transfer program, which reached more than 4.4 million poor families in 2014. Rigorous impact evaluation in 2012 and 2014 confirms that Pantawid Pamilya improves access to health services, keeps children in school, reduces child labor, and does not encourage dependency.
