ABSTRACT
Latin America is on its way of transition from the system which strenghtens existing inequalities and privileges for selected social groups inherited from generation to generation, into the system supporting sustainable development of the whole society. Currently, the governments of Latin American countries, regardless of their political orientation, are becoming increasingly aware that without social and cultural change, sustainable economic development cannot be ensured. It was in Latin America, a number of innovative programs aimed in reducing social inequalities, breaking the circle of poverty and crime, stimulating entrepreneurship and creativity of people were introduced. The pursuit of modernity and innovation began just from social changes affecting the change of consciousness of citizens as well as of political elites. One of the main tools of social innovation in Latin America are Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT). In the article the author attempts to evaluate these programs.
