These programmes also reveal the need to extend education and health services to those sectors of society and geographical areas which are currently deprived of them, by revitalizing the public supply of some of those services and associating them with conditionalities and promoting cooperation and coordination among the public bodies involved. The correct functioning of conditional transfer programmes depends on each country’s achievements in terms of universalizing basic social services, and also on close collaboration between programme leaders and the education, health-care and nutrition sectors. It is not possible to cover all the areas of concern in this report, but the main ones will be examined below. Achieving the goals of conditional transfer programmes requires good coordination between the ministries responsible for the various social sectors, as well as close collaboration between central government and decentralized or local authorities.
