This paper assesses conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs implemented in Nicaragua, a low-income country. The authors argue that a well-targeted strategy of supply-side, performance-based incentives on its own may be sufficient to maintain high levels of health care service utilization, at least among poor households that have benefited from a relatively long period of education on the importance of preventive health care, while receiving demand-side financial incentives.
