In Cameroon, the universal transfer policy in these conditions amounts to distributing about 29300 CFA francs (in 2007 terms) per year to each child aged 0 to 5, with a total budget equivalent to 1% of before-crisis GDP. As for the targeted transfer programme, it is also assumed that the transfer is given to the household head, who ensures an equitable distribution among household members. The poverty rates are only slightly higher in the universal transfer scenario if we consider children aged 0 to 14 (a difference of 0.2 to 0.5 percentage points); but is slightly lower in that scenario within the 0 to 5 year age group (a difference of 0.4 to 0.5 percentage points).
