Abstract

Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs have been highly effective in reducing poverty globally, particularly in countries such as Brazil and Mexico. However, numerous OIC countries continue to experience high poverty levels, emphasizing the need for programs that are specifically adapted to their unique socio-economic contexts. The goal of this study is to systematically review and synthesize the evidence on the effectiveness of Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs in poverty eradication in OIC member countries. This study utilized a systematic review following the ROSES protocol for transparency and rigor. Inductive thematic analysis was applied to identify key patterns, synthesizing 23 articles published between 2018 and 2023 for comprehensive insights into the research topic. Five significant themes were identified based on the thematic analysis: (1) Health Conditionality and Impact on CCT Programs; (2) Education Conditionality and Impact on CCT Programs; (3 CCT Programs Impact on Poverty; (4) Issues and Challenges in CCT Programs; (5) Intervention in CCT Programs. Thirteen sub-themes were built from these five fundamental concepts. This study reviews recent advancements in CCT programs and their impact on poverty alleviation in OIC countries, offering insights for implementation and providing valuable information for scholars. It emphasizes the potential integration of Islamic fiscal resources, such as zakat, and the incorporation of religious principles as conditionalities within CCT models from an Islamic legal perspective. These aspects offer promising avenues for future research, providing valuable insights that could enhance poverty reduction strategies and serve as important guidance for scholars and policymakers.

Abstract

Despite the increasing distribution of zakat in Malaysia, its effectiveness in alleviating poverty remains limited, partly due to unproductive behaviors among recipients. Simultaneously, current Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs lack long- term sustainability. Integrating religious conditionality into zakat-based CCT models may address these limitations. This study aims to evaluate the content and face validity of religious conditionality items developed from a comprehensive literature review. A total of 12 items were assessed by 10 experts using established validation methods. Content validity was evaluated using the Content Validity Index (CVI), Kappa statistics, and Content Validity Ratio (CVR), while face validity was measured through expert agreement on item relevance and clarity. The findings indicate that the RC-ZCCT scale has strong content and face validity. I-CVI scores ranged from 0.90 to 1.00, with S-CVI scores of 0.975 (relevance) and 0.950 (clarity). Kappa statistics also ranged from 0.90 to 1.00, and CVR values from 0.80 to 1.00, all exceeding accepted thresholds. Face validity results showed expert agreement ranging from 90% to 100%, with an overall agreement of 96%, confirming the appropriateness of the items. Minor revisions were made based on expert feedback, but all items were retained. The validated RC-ZCCT scale presents a reliable instrument for developing zakat-based interventions that incorporate religious conditionality, offering potential to improve poverty alleviation and human capital development. Future research should explore the impact of religious conditionality on CCT outcomes to further enhance the effectiveness of such programs
