@article{123, author = {Dan Levy and Jim Ohls}, title = {Evaluation of Jamaica's PATH conditional cash transfer programme}, abstract = {This paper summarises the findings of an evaluation of the Programme of Advancement through Health and Education (PATH), a conditional cash transfer programme implemented by the Government of Jamaica. The authors find that PATH was generally implemented as intended; exhibited better targeting to the poor than other similar social assistance programmes in Jamaica; and had positive and statistically significant impacts on school attendance and number of preventive healthcare visits for children. They find no evidence, however, that PATH was able to affect longer-term outcomes such as marks, grade progression, or healthcare status.}, year = {2010}, journal = {Journal of Development Effectiveness}, volume = {2}, pages = {421-441}, }
