They've done it before; they'll do it again!

That spreadsheet shows that they're actively supporting at least one (conditional) cash transfer program already.

Does this include conditional cash transfers (e.g. New Incentives)?

@Lorenzo Should it? What are they conditional on? Which row of that spreadsheet would they go under?

predictedYES 2y

@NathanpmYoung New Incentives (newincentives.org) runs a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program ... seeks to increase uptake of routine immunizations through cash transfers ... makes cash transfers conditional on infants receiving vaccines. [They also do other stuff, but CCT seems a big part of what they do.]

I would guess row 3 in the sheet? "Conditional cash transfers to increase infant vaccination as run by New Incentives"
