Conditionalities (if any)
Cash transfers for nutrition are expected to be spent by the households on nutrition, particularly for children. Therefore, if after the third transfer the children’s health status shows no improvement due to wilful neglect, the grant is suspended. Reintegration into the programme after suspension is possible if the children show improvement in their weight-to-height measurement. Cash transfers for health are conditional upon children’s health being regularly checked (once per quarter) at health centres for children under six years of age. Cash transfer for education requires 90 per cent school attendance for children aged 7–14.

Targeted areas
The cash transfer programme has been implemented in 4 prefectures, 16 sub-prefectures and 75 villages. Prefectures were selected based on high child malnutrition rates and low school attendance rates. An agreement between the government of Guinea and the World Food Programme (WFP) has been signed for the implementation of the programme. Fifty-four schools benefit from this in the following prefectures: Mali, Pita, Telimele, Siguiri and Kerouane.
