Abstract

Abstract In Ghana, barriers faced by people living in poverty exceed their ability to meet their daily needs. An effective way of addressing these barriers can be achieved by improving the uptake of citizenship rights among them. This article aims to determine whether cash transfer programmes promote the taking up of citizenship rights among beneficiaries. The article also examines the impact of conditions on the uptake of citizenship rights by the beneficiaries of cash transfer programme. Data collected from the field were used for this study. The results highlight how cash transfer programmes promote uptake of citizenship rights among beneficiaries. The research also shows that conditionality promotes the taking up of human capital development activities. These results make known that monitoring and enforcement of conditions have a higher effect on the promotion of uptake of citizenship rights among beneficiaries than non-enforcement.

期刊介绍： Forum for Development Studies was established in 1974, and soon became the leading Norwegian journal for development research. While this position has been consolidated, Forum has gradually become an international journal, with its main constituency in the Nordic countries. The journal is owned by the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) and the Norwegian Association for Development Research. Forum aims to be a platform for development research broadly defined – including the social sciences, economics, history and law. All articles are double-blind peer-reviewed. In order to maintain the journal as a meeting place for different disciplines, we encourage authors to communicate across disciplinary boundaries. Contributions that limit the use of exclusive terminology and frame the questions explored in ways that are accessible to the whole range of the Journal''s readership will be given priority.
