Targeting of Transfers in Developing Countries : Review of Lessons and Experience

Drawing on a database of more than one hundred antipoverty interventions in 47 countries, this book provides a general review of experiences with methods used to target interventions in transition and developing countries.

Written for policymakers and program managers in developing countries, in donor agencies, and NGOs who have responsibility for designing interventions that reach the poor, it conveys what targeting options are available, what results can be expected, and provides information about their implementation.
