Abstract: One of the world's largest conditional cash transfer programmes, Bolsa Fam�lia reaches 48.7 million people in Brazil with subsidies that are tied to health- and education-related conditions. In this case study, Gala D�az Langou and Paula Forteza look at how the dissemination of evaluation findings, specially focusing on timing, led to improvements in the programme design as well as a major shift in the government's commitment to increase funding and expand coverage of Bolsa Fam�lia.
