Comparative Analysis of Conditional Cash Transfer Implementation and Sustainability in the Philippines.

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program in the Philippines that has been implemented since 2007 and now spans the Arroyo, Aquino, and Duterte administration. Through document analysis, this study aims to compare and analyze the implementation of the program of the three administrations. Results exhibited that (1) all three administrations have achieved success in their overall implementation; (2) internal and external factors became hindrances for the program, such as political motivations and financial crisis; and (3) the program lacks the manifestation of sustainable development in its implementation and outcomes. The study recommends (1) efficient mechanisms in implementation and long-term evaluation, (2) avoidance of extractive institutions, and (3) conducting scenario planning for external variables that may affect the program.
