Combining Methodologies for Better Targeting of the Extreme Poor: Lessons from BRAC’s CFPR/TUP Programme (original) (raw)

RePEc: Research Papers in Economics, 2007

Abstract

To assess the effectiveness and draw lessons from the targeting strategy used in a new BRAC programme called Challenging the Frontiers of Poverty Reduction-Targeting the Ultra Poor (CFPR/TUP) that aims to experiment with a different type of approach to address extreme rural poverty. The underlying theme of both the CFPR/TUP programme and the targeting methodology used is an acknowledgement of the strength of combining different methods and approaches for greater effectiveness. This paper uses programme data emerging out of its targeting exercise to assess questions of effectiveness of the approach used. [CFPR-TUP Working Paper Series No. 2].
