conditionality

Terms must apply

Conditionality is the quality of being dependent on conditions or requirements.

The term appears most often in economics and international development, where aid or loans come with strings attached: The IMF's conditionality requires borrowing countries to implement structural reforms.

More broadly, it describes any arrangement where one thing hinges on another being satisfied first.
