When did Conditional Cash Transfers start in Nigeria?

According to one of ResearchGate’s report, the conditional cash transfer began in 2013 as part of the government’s measures to reduce the mortality rate among the poor and vulnerable pregnant women in the country.

It was equally geared towards providing better and quality life for all households in the country

In its report, over 2,000 women benefitted from the first two edition editions of the poverty-alleviating program between 2013 and 2014.

However, we later discovered that the program’s origin can be traced back to early 2007 when the Nigerian government introduced the Care Of The People (COPE) CCT as one of NASSCO’s schemes.
