Beaming sunrays, beautiful trees, and wild animals sound like the vacation of a lifetime. The country of Nigeria has all of these things plus plenty more to offer. Nigeria is located on the warm, dry, tropic continent of Africa. Unique foods, bright and colorful clothing, rythme filled dances come to mind when I think of Nigeria. Some people on the other hand would like to enjoy a warm fire place with a cup of hot creamy cocoa and soft fuzzy blankets in a winter lodge of Denmark. Sometimes A soft fur, games, food and being surrounded by family is all person need to call their vacation complete. Two different places with an abundance of beauty waiting to be seen.

The video “Lagos/Koolhas” does a great job of portraying the country of Lagos Nigeria which is a rapidly expanding city with very few resources to actually handle this rapid growth. Much like in other undeveloped countries these rapid development is resulting in many individuals living in slum conditions with few options for work. The difference between Lagos and other developing cities is Lagos is now considered a Mega-city an as of 2014 has a population of 24 million people, making it the largest city in Africa (Lagos Population 2016). With the population again set to double by 2050 the question that arises is it possible for Lagos to become a sustainable mega city, or will this rapid development continue to be a problem for years to come?

Poverty is a big problem in developing countries. Sri Lanka as a middle income country is also facing the problem of poverty. A lot of families in Sri Lanka are being covered under the safety net programs funded by the government of Sri Lanka in terms of income transfer (food and income subsidy), nutrition package for pregnant and lactating mothers and milk feeding subsidy for children between two and five years old. Therefore, one of the main responsibilities of the government of Sri Lanka is to eradicate poverty from our mother land.

Conditional Cash Transfers are cash grants given to poor families providing they follow the conditions necessary in order to receive these grants. The conditions vary with each CCT program implemented in each country but mainly rely on school attendance, healthcare checkups, and nutritional workshops. But in order to identify how they work efficiently, in-depth analysis is provided.

Over the past couple years the cost of expenditures for child poverty has increased. It is now costing more to take care and provide for children in poverty than it is for governments to reduce and eliminate poverty as a whole. A large cause for child poverty is that children are born into families who have lower earnings which lead to those children growing up with a low potential to excel and therefore have job that pays low thus causing a recycled process. Living in poverty and low class segments in countries also takes a hit towards that country’s economy in the form of foregone earnings, crime and healthcare for those who grew up in poverty, one country that sees a large hit is the United States that faces a cost of $500 billion annually.

We report an experiment in 3,000 villages that tested whether incentives improve aid efficacy. Villages received block grants for maternal and child health and education that incorporated relative performance incentives. Subdistricts were randomized into incentives, an otherwise identical program without incentives, or control. Incentives initially improved preventative health indicators, particularly in underdeveloped areas, and spending efficiency increased. While school enrollments improved overall, incentives had no differential impact on education, and incentive health effects diminished over time. Reductions in neonatal mortality in nonincentivized areas did not persist with incentives. We find no systematic scoring manipulation nor funding

But this was not the only example of an UBI granted to citizens in an attempt to study its effects on employment and income equality. Since 2008, pilot programs have been tested in small regions of Brazil, India, and Namibia (Pasma 2014, 3-4). In Brazil, small monthly payments resulted in improvements in health, clothing, and living conditions. In India, the added income brought better access to healthcare, education, and economic activity, as well as greater agricultural yields due to increased inputs. Finally, in Namibia, the grant reduced poverty and created an influx of small business start-ups; healthcare and education also improved, while there was a significant decrease in crime (Pasma 2014, 3-4). Although it is encouraging that other programs have seen positive results from their own pilot programs, it should be noted that none of these three countries’ economies are remotely similar to that of

Poverty is not a simple issue. There is no universal response to it. Latin America is among the poorest of the poor. Most of its population lives in absolute poverty. Poverty is a structural problem in Latin America. Over the past three decades, there have been multiple different options offered to the poor of Latin America to better their lives. To name a few, immigration, drug gangs, informal work, and conditional cash transfers have been presented to them. The last of those four, conditional cash transfers, is the one that gives poor Latin Americans the best hope for a better life.

Every year sub-Saharan Africa receives around $134bn in loans, foreign investment and development aid, according to the UN. Nonetheless, sub-Saharan Africa is still the poorest region in the world. For many years the international community has debated over the reasons why every year billion and billions of dollars are not taking sub-Saharan Africans out of poverty. Three major groups have prevailed in the discussion. First, the people who totally blame Africa for not doing its job right, completely forgetting that most of the funds are not administrated by Africans. Second, the people who believe that even though aids are not working, the international community should keep investing funds in Africa even if is failing; one day they will work.

Ending world poverty is not an easy task. Many have tried to end this global problem with the notion that there is enough for the whole world. However, some regions have failed to succeed in the trial to end deprivation. In spite of the failure to end poverty, people like Jeffrey Sachs continue to have the optimism to demolish poverty. Class assignments reading and discussions have enabled the inspiration to acquire policies that could stop the cyclical development of poverty. These policies include the improvement and affordability of primary education in the developing region of sub- Saharan Africa. The prevention and cures of treatable diseases. As well as, the elimination on the food crisis in sub-Saharan Africa. The inspired

The cash component itself it is very important regarding the CCT’s outcome on children especially the ones living in extreme poverty. First of all the additional cash to the family allows the household to have better purchasing power and therefore, gives the family the ability to buy medicines, better quality food, spend more money on school and health materials. By meeting the basic needs for human survival there is a reduced likelihood that a child will be exposed to infection or malnutrition. The Cash transfers also provide cognitive stimulation to the

Bolsa Familia, is a Brazilian project, which also reinforces cash transfer incentives to increase school enrollment and health care condition. This programs follows the same principles as Oportunidades. Nonetheless, is intriguing to study the effects of Bolsa Familia, for the Brazilian context. Brazil is one of the most inegalitarian country in Latin America. In 2003, the former president Lula da Silva, opened a new social program in Brazil. Bolsa de Familia, had World’s Bank technical and financial support. Throughout its active presence, it has reached about 46 million people, and more than 11 million households.

When we attack poverty on many levels, bringing together aid and education, community and economic development, and bringing empowerment to individuals, women and children, then we can begin to see real change in the communities and society. However, society is strutted in such a way that not all
