Abstract

Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) are important national strategies to improve maternal and child health and nutrition. India recently began implementing a Maternity Benefit Program (MBP) to encourage health care use during pregnancy and early childhood; under discussion is to include child nutrition services within a CCT program. This paper aims to understand the preferences of mothers with young children for design features (cash transfer amount and conditionalities) of CCT programs.
