Title: | Payment Schemes in Conditional Cash Transfer Programs: The Case of 4Ps in the Davao Region, Philippines | Contributor(s): | Catubig, Maria Cecilia (author); Villano, Renato (author) ; Dollery, Brian E (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.3390/admsci5040240 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/18792 | Abstract: | This paper evaluates current payment schemes employed by the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in the Philippines using six assessment criteria: transaction cost, security/risks, speed and timeliness, acceptability, resilience and flexibility. Employing data collected at the regional level, we establish four main findings: (1) all 4Ps payment conduits present trade-offs; (2) a payment approach that uses mainstream financial infrastructure is beneficial if cost, speed and simplicity of the payment system are critical; (3) competition for 4Ps contracts for Payment Service Providers (PSPs) has improved the quality of payment services and minimized costs; and (4) the efficiency of the program is greatly influenced by the commitment of the PSP to deliver the cash benefits to the recipients in a timely manner rather than by maximizing conduit branches. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Administrative Sciences, 5(4), p. 240-259 | Publisher: | MDPI AG | Place of Publication: | Switzerland | ISSN: | 2076-3387 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 140214 Public Economics- Publically Provided Goods | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 380114 Public economics - publicly provided goods | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 940204 Public Services Policy Advice and Analysis | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 230204 Public services policy advice and analysis | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
