Abstract/Executive Summary
The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is a conditional cash transfer aimed at reducing the intergenerational transmission of poverty by providing cash grants to be used for health and education. In a previous impact evaluation (IE3), it was shown that the program succeeded in terms of improving school attendance and health compliance, although it had mixed outcomes in terms of nutrition, maternal health, and employment. The study utilized a case study design, a semi-structured interview questionnaire, and a developed codebook to examine the beneficiaries’ socioeconomic conditions before and during program participation. It explored the 4Ps’ socioeconomic impacts on income, employment, food consumption, health and nutrition, children’s education, parenting roles, individual development, and community engagement. The study also explored the program’s effects on the beneficiaries’ financial management practices and program challenges. Findings show that the beneficiaries previously experienced severe financial instability and relied on informal employment and loans. The 4Ps was shown to improve household income stability, food security, healthcare access, children’s education, parental responsibility, individual development, and community participation. However, the program had minimal influence on employment, and despite improved budgeting discipline, beneficiaries still struggled to save due to limited grants and compliance demands. The study found gaps in terms of financial literacy and sustainable livelihood opportunities. Thus, it proposes a Financial Management Guide focusing on budgeting and saving.
