From One to Many: Cash Transfer Debates in Ending Extreme Poverty

Reducing poverty and improving equity
Jan 13, 2019 | Brookings Institution, George Ingram, John McArthur

Nigeria, DRC, Madagascar, South Sudan, and Mozambique will likely be home to more than half the world’s extremely poor people by 2030. George Ingram and John McArthur suggest in this report for the Brookings Institution that if cash transfers are to play a role in ending extreme poverty, these five countries deserve special emphasis in advancing relevant research and implementation priorities. With only 12 years to the deadline for achievement of the Sustainable  Development Goals, the World Bank and the United Nations should guide these efforts.
