A Transparent and Effective Cash Assistance Program: Dream or Reality?

Leila Dagher ()

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This policy brief proposes a quasi-universal cash transfer program that is essential and timely, particularly in light of the dire socio-economic situation in the country. However, the program should be very carefully designed and implemented in a transparent manner so as not to be used as a medium for vote-buying. Ensuring strong oversight mechanisms and anti-corruption safeguards also provides an opportunity to regain the trust of the Lebanese and other stakeholders, which is the cornerstone of any successful economic recovery plan.
