Agricultural mechanization: Drivers and characteristics por Belton, Ben, Win, Myat Thida, Zhang, Xiaobo, Filipski, Mateusz J., Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Masias, Ian

A social analysis of the Red de Protección Social (RPS) in Nicaragua por Adato, Michelle, Roopnaraine, Terry, Álvarez, Fabiola Alvarado, Peña, Leticia Böttel, Castrillo, Gladys Meléndez

“…What is so important about CCTs is that first, they take a systematic approach to assuring a basic income safety net for the poor, rather than relying on more diffuse, indirect process of poverty reduction, e.g. through demand-driven infrastructure programs; and second, they aim to do more than just put short-term cash in people‘s hands—important as this aspect of safety nets is—but also to invest in the long-term human capital of future generations. They achieve this by conditioning cash transfers on participation of households in health and education services, based on the premise that attention to early children health, nutrition and education significantly increases these children‘s chances of climbing out of poverty later in life. …”
