New Incentives





New Incentives gives HIV-positive pregnant women the support they need to complete the treatment that will prevent the transmission of HIV to their newborns. Women in our program earn cash rewards that are given after they complete key benchmarks in prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV treatment and services. Our pilot achieved a 0% newborn HIV transmission rate and we are currently scaling our program to 1,000 women in Akwa Ibom, Nigeria.

Founder & CEO

Svetha Janumpalli is the Founder & CEO of New Incentives, an organization she started in 2011 after doing research at the Center of Evaluation for Global Action with faculty who conducted evaluations of leading conditional cash transfer programs (CCTs). She built New Incentives to introduce the nonprofit sector to CCTs because they are one of the most well studied evidence-based development tools in the world. Having a background in impact evaluation and field research, Svetha understands how to bring policymakers, development researchers, and NGO partners together to create what New Incentives calls next-generation CCT programming. Svetha was a 2011 Changemaker, highlighted by the Clinton Global Initiative in 2012, was named a Forbes '30 Under 30' Social Entrepreneur in 2013, and was winner of the Women Deliver Social Enterprise Challenge in 2013.
