Monitoring and evaluation is crucial to continually improving program design. ADB has provided valuable support to impact evaluations of the Philippines' CCT program since 2010. These have helped identify progress as well as challenges requiring attention. For example, the lack of impact on children’s immunization rates requires revisiting the health conditionalities for all CCT beneficiary children. Similarly, reported school attendance rates remain high without necessarily being affected by the program. This suggests that nonattendance may not be fully reported, which weakens the effect of education conditionalities beyond enrollment. Impact evaluation findings should be carefully analyzed and used as feedback loops to improve program performance.
