Nearly two years after it was first proposed by the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), a system of Direct Cash Transfers has found favour with the incumbent A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC). 

Facing what will likely be a close general election on March 2nd, the coalition in its 2020 manifesto is promising Guyanese Conditional Cash Transfers based on a feasibility or pilot study.
