Building Opportunities for Our Social Transformation Initiative
"Building Opportunities for Our Social Transformation Initiative" begins in 2011, which is a conditional cash transfer program, which focuses on families living in poverty. Such transfers are effective to meet any of the three main requirements: immunize children under 5; regular prenatal checkups for pregnant women performed in health centers; and send children to school with a minimum of 85% attendance. When any of these requirements is met the program grants on a monthly basis between BZD$44 and BZD$82 (USD$22 - USD$41) per person, with a maximum of 6 beneficiaries per family. The program also supports the poorest families’ access to financial services such as savings incentives and help get microcredits in order to bring families closer to financial independence.
