Effective Targeting for the Poor and Vulnerable

Author

  • Leite, Phillippe

Abstract

The choice of targeting methods for a particular social program depends on the objective of the program and the particular country’s circumstances and experience. Literature suggests that three methods geographical targeting, community-based targeting, and (proxy) means-testing can be used in combination to identify households that are chronically poor or food-insecure, or that are vulnerable to these conditions. These methods must be flexible enough to be used across safety net programs of harmonized interventions.
