Unconditional cash transfer

Unconditional cash transfer (UCT) programs are philanthropic programs that aim to reduce poverty by providing financial welfare without any conditions upon the receivers' actions.^[1] This differentiates them from conditional cash transfers where the government (or a charity) only transfers the money to persons who meet certain criteria.^[2] Unconditional cash transfers have developed on the premise that giving cash to citizens allows them to have autonomy over their own lives.^[3]
