This paper documents the targeting process used in selecting individuals by bringing together diverse strands of knowledge on poverty (indigenous, local, programmatic, and academic) in identifying and selecting beneficiaries. It uses a multi-staged targeting process involving a variety of actors and processes.

The paper looks at the trends and patterns in each stage and comments on the broader themes that have emerged from the process documentation. It also reveals the wealth and diversity of activities and interactions that generally constitute the various stages of the targeting process.

This paper is based on BRAC's Challenging the Frontiers of Poverty Reduction - Targeting the Ultra Poor (CFPR/TUP) rogramme.[adapted from author]
