Dimensions and basic achievements:
TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
• Imapct evaluation design
• Institutional and social strenghtening strategies design
• Social and public communication srategies design
• Development of efficient technical solutions to provide follow-up on co-
responsabilities, indicators, financial managemente and to generate
reports
1. CCTs are important, they provide help in protecting human capital and in crisis
situations.
2. CCTs can not be stand alone policies, a parallel pedagogical process with families is
necessary (promotion component) as well as building a SPN around them
3. It is necessary to develop an institutional strenghetning component in CCT programs
in order to coordinate the work of Government at the National level and public local
agencies and beneficiaries.
4. All social and social inclusion programs must be part of the SPN
5. SPNs articulate, plan, and follow-up, but concrete actions are the responsability of
each SPN program.
