Improved targeting for the largest safety net program for ultra-poor women in rural Bangladesh, reaching 750,000 women and their 3.5 million family members

PIM’s assessment of the largest safety net for ultra-poor women in rural Bangladesh, the Vulnerable Group Development (VGD) program, identified key deficiencies in the program's targeting criteria and recommended new criteria grounded more firmly on available poverty data. These criteria were adopted by the VGD program and by the new World Bank-supported Income Support Program for the Poorest.
