When they look at Conditional Cash Transfers for Education, cost is one metric, but it's not the only--or maybe even the most important one.

Focusing on just cost runs the risk of creating programs that reach a lot more people without providing useful impacts in their lives. Do it well, and with some structure, can you can learn a lot about improving your programs.
