Why do conditional cash transfer programmes fail to target the poor? The case of urban areas in Mexico

Given the limited financing capacity of developing countries, conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes are an affordable means of providing a social safety net to vulnerable households. However, compliance with conditionalities may limit participation and increase dropouts, particularly when compl...
