In addition to its effective targeting to the rural poor who have a weak political voice, one may speculate about the role of other factors. The program was new, having been initiated by the previous administration. Thus, it might have been viewed as something of a stepchild by the incoming government of the opposition party. Moreover, its very newness implies that the beneficiaries may not have had time to consider the program to be part of their "rights" under the basic social contract. This presumably contributed to the quiescent acceptance of the withdrawal of the program.
Page 15 3 Methods for Judging Outcomes To judge whether the benefit of a good targeting outcome is worth the administrative, incentive or political economy costs incurred in achieving it, it is necessary to measure these costs and benefits and to weigh them against one another. Because the focus of this study is on program administration and its link to targeting outcomes, this chapter will discuss only how to measure administrative costs and targeting outcomes. The first two sections explain these in some detail.
A basic health intervention may have as the target group those who are sick. A safety net program may aim to reach those who are poor. A program with hybrid objectives may aim to reach those among the poor who are sick. In evaluating programs, for maximum accuracy, it is important to distinguish clearly whether they are aimed at the sick, the poor or the poor who are sick (with obvious parallels for nutrition and education). Here, however, the target group is taken to be the poor. Note 1.
