Learning Curves: Pathways Out of Rural Poverty and the Effectiveness of Poverty Targeting
Asian Development Bank | January 2007
Abstract
Poverty targeting has been used widely in development projects to channel funds to poor regions or deliver benefits to poor households. There are numerous studies on targeting but most measure its effectiveness in terms of distributing inputs such as budgets, funds, or projects, or in terms of short term benefits such as subsidized farm inputs, training courses, or entitlement to construction work during project implementation. What is lacking is results based evaluation that measures the effectiveness of targeting in terms of the number of households that rise out of poverty.
