How do organizers reach the poorest and most vulnerable people?
There are three common strategies to target the poorest and economically most vulnerable populations: geographic, standardized means testing and community-based means tests. In the Bangladesh voucher program, geographic and community-based strategies are used. In some districts, community health workers ask village leadership to identify poor households using locally relevant indicators for poverty (community based means test). In other districts, all women automatically qualify (geographic targeting). In Kenya, the KfW / GoK voucher program used a participatory poverty grading tool in the four targeted districts. The tool was developed using indicators specific to each district and included markers for poverty from housing, access to medical facility, water source, rent amounts, sanitation, income levels, and number of meals taken per day.
