Summary (English)

This study examines the feasibility and sustainability in terms of costs of introducing a system of child cash transfers in Egypt. The projection model is built on the logical approach employed by the UNICEF-ILO Social Protection Costing Tool. It mainly answers three specific questions: i) what poverty reduction can be expected if the system is implemented? ii) how much does it cost?, and iii) how can the policy be financed within Egypt’s fiscal space?
