Households with children in last grad of primary school receive an additional bonus of 20,000 MGA ($6.24) once a year to achieve primary school and pass the final exam.
Beneficiary households are those with children enrolled in last grade of primary school or in age to be enrolled in secondary school among households receiving a CCT floor already implemented by the government (10,000 MGA/ $3.12 per child under 5 and 5,000 MGA per child in primary school) called human development cash transfer (TMDH) which constitutes the basis for all cash transfer implemented in the country in line with the national social protection policy launched on September 2015.
Beneficiary households were selected through a community-based targeting process, facilitated by the social protection committee, the primary social protection structure at community level, in cooperation with Fonds intervention pour le development. The programme reaches 5,900 households (11,368 beneficiaries).
