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

This book provides a general review of experiences and lessons learned with methods used to target interventions in developing countries. Our primary audience is composed of policy makers and program managers in developing countries, in donor agencies, and in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who have the responsibility for designing interventions that reach the poor. Our objective is to convey available targeting options, anticipated results, and relevant information to assist in optimizing the implementation of the chosen option.
