Summary

Conditional cash transfer programmes (CCTs), which provide money subsidies to targeted households living in extreme poverty, are some of the salient policy instruments used for poverty alleviation in the Global South today. These programmes employ a gendered approach as they provide money to the mothers of families living in extreme poverty. This dissertation aims to provide in-depth knowledge about how intra-household dynamics can influence the realisation of cash transfer impact on the household and individual levels. The research looked at the TASAF program conducted in Tanzania with the Korogwe district as a case study.
