    Conditional Cash Transfer Case Study

    If I were to design a conditional cash transfer (CTT) program for the state of Arizona, I would design it in a way that would involve health professionals, educational boards, employment agencies, and banking officials. Those who fall below or are at the poverty line and those who are plagued with a mental disease (i.e. depression, anxiety, anorexia, etc.) that needs constant monitoring would qualify for this CTT program. The conditionalities for this program would be that individuals enrolled in this program: 1) must attend healthcare appointments for both themselves and children (if they have any) and submit to advised tests and vaccinations; 2) must enroll their children (if they have any) in school and continue to ensure that their children…

    Let Them Eat Cash By Christopher Blattman Summary

    Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) “targeted to the poor and made conditional on certain behaviors of recipient households” (Fiszbein et al. 45) while Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCTs) range from “non-contributory pension schemes, disability benefits, child allowance, and income support” (Baird, McIntosh, and Özler 1710). CCTs target the poor’s underinvestment in human capital, in terms of education and health. There are positive externalities from education and health, however with limited income and low perceived returns, the poor could be consuming below the private optimal level or their private optimal level is below the social optimal level (Fiszbein et al. 9-10). With better education and health, the poor have opportunities in escaping poverty in the future.…

    Explain the Difficulties That Developing Nations Experience as They Try to Break the Poverty Cycle

    In most nations where poverty is wide spread, the lack of funding from the nation’s government and the global community is almost always a major obstacle. Money is considered a language of its own; everybody understands it and will use it. Major components that can help people get out of poverty needs to be paid. But often the government of the developing nation spends so much money on welfare programs and food distribution programs that they have no money left over to try to pull the country out of poverty. That means the government cannot afford things like teachers and schools to educate their citizens, doctors and hospitals to combat the spread of disease, better farming equipment to increase the food supply, and much more.…

    Pankration Research Paper

    Pankration was the most violent event in the ancient athletic competition. Pankration comes from the Greek pan (all) and kratos (power), which translates to “all power” (Arvanitis). It is a combination of pyx (boxing) & pale orthe (wrestling). It is hard to determine precisely when Pankration was established as a historical phenomenon, but some believe it originated from the myth of Herakles and the Nemean Lion. It is believed that Herakles was the patron of pankration because when the skin of the lion he fought was impenetrable, therefore biting, gouging, and sharp weapons were useless; Herakles had to wrestle the lion and in the end, he strangled the lion to death (Miller). Nevertheless, we certainly know that Pankration was introduced into…

    Miike Snow Research Paper

    Most collaborations in music have always been regarded as a successful venture. We have all seen a couple of artists infusing their unmistakable talents through crafting songs and even forming a band. It is with their geniuses that they come-up with something twisted and exciting, offering avid fans of mainstream music something refreshing and unconventional. Staying true to the ‘two heads are better than one’ philosophy, the bands of today have proven that while they value individuality, they find it more appealing to perform when they are with their team members. And if we are to read the signs, the possibilities of people merging to create a supernova group is far from oblivion, especially now that groups equate sure success. With this in mind, the band called Miike Snow is continuously proving that they work better when they’re together.…

    Benefits of Debt Cancellation...

    The authorities recognize that debt relief under the initiative would provide a unique opportunity to free up resources for additional poverty reducing spending. They also recognize that debt relief under the initiative would provide a unique opportunity to free up resources for additional poverty reducing spending. They also recognize that, to enable the country to benefit from the resources made available for the overarching objectives of poverty reduction and economic growth, structural reforms initiated in critical areas , including governance and anti-corruption, need to be accelerated. Against this backdrop, the authorities formally communicated to the Fund and the World Bank (in a letter dated March 23, 2006) that they wished to initiate discussions on the possibility of debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative and, subsequently, under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI).…
