Evaluating Targeting Efficiency of Government Programmes: International Comparisons

Abstract

For about the last two decades, the consensus has been that economic growth is necessary but not, by itself, sufficient for the alleviation of poverty. Additional elements are required. First, poor households need to build up their asset base in order to participate in the growth process. Second, growth needs to be broad-based to reach all segments of society, including the poor. Third, short-term public assistance measures are required to protect vulnerable groups of society, because it takes time for the needy to benefit from the impact of a policy or strategy. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
