Abstract
Governance of social protection programmes in developing countries need to ensure that community members and state institutions have the resources to effectively engage with each other. This dissertation examines how the community-based targeting methods and mechanism (CBTM) that was utilized in the implementation of Nigeria’s “In Care of the People” (COPE) Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme in three communities in Oyo state, improved or impeded transparency and accountability in the governance of the programme. Due to the weak administrative and technical capacity of state institutions charged with the responsibility of implementing the programme, accountability was weak.
