Residents push for passage of CCT Bill in Philippines

Health workers weighed a kid at the health centre in Lake Sebu, Mindanao, Philippines on January 30, 2016. Juliet Clavel, a program coordinator in Mindanao, says the World Bank gave the country’s CCT high marks, saying it was one of the “largest and best-targeted social safety net programs in the world with the poor and vulnerable in the Philippines. Social safety net programs include cash and in-kind transfers to poor households with the goal of protecting families from the impact of economic shocks, natural disasters, and other crises; ensuring that children grow up healthy, well-fed and stay in school; empowering women and girls, and creating jobs.
