This paper evaluates the effects of a conditional cash transfer (CCT) on antenatal consultations in Senegal. We conduct non-experimental and quasi-experimental evaluations, which control group is constructed using propensity score matching method. While approach alone does not allow to conclude impact CCT, reveals that CCT significatively increases beneficiaries. The combination evaluations has potential offer evaluation social policies cost-effective way, existing information, such as administrative data already-collected survey data.
