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.
