unconditional cash transfers

Unconditional cash transfers are financial payments provided directly to individuals or families without any specific conditions or requirements. They aim to reduce poverty, help with basic needs, and support economic stability by giving recipients the flexibility to decide how to use the money—whether for food, healthcare, education, or other essentials. These transfers are often used in development programs to quickly assist vulnerable populations, trusting individuals to prioritize their own needs without restrictions. They are simple, direct, and designed to empower recipients to improve their well-being independently.
