The document outlines how a Universal Basic Income Guarantee (UBIG) serves as a government commitment to ensure all citizens receive a minimum amount to meet basic needs. It details the positive impacts of cash transfers on child health, adult mental well-being, and lifelong learning, citing evidence from South Africa, Namibia, India, Kenya, and Tanzania to demonstrate how such guarantees can break cycles of structural poverty.

• Cash transfers improve child health and nutrition, which has long-term benefits for adult health and social outcomes. In Namibia, households receiving a basic income grant saw child malnutrition rates drop by 32% after one year.
• In South Africa, the Child Support Grant (CSG) is linked to improved child growth (height) and higher earnings for those children when they reach adulthood.
• UBIG supports mental health by reducing stress and anxiety associated with poverty. Evidence from Kenya indicates that unconditional cash transfers increase life satisfaction and happiness.
• Cash transfers increase school enrollment and performance. In sub-Saharan Africa, enrollment in higher grades increased by 5% to 15% due to cash transfers. In low- and middle-income countries, unconditional transfers increased school enrollment by 20%.
• UBIG facilitates adult lifelong learning and skill acquisition, which improves employability, particularly as the climate transition creates a need for workers in green businesses.
