Title	Targeting the poor in Mexico
Subtitle	an evaluation of the selection of households for PROGRESA
Author	Skoufias, Emmanuel de la Vega, Sergio Davis, Benjamin
Year	2001
Abstract	This report reevaluates PROGRESA’s targeting methods since the program began adding beneficiary households through a process called “densification.” The authors first evaluate PROGRESA’s accuracy in targeting both at the community and household levels. Second, they evaluate the targeting in terms of its impact on poverty alleviation relative to other feasible methods assuming the same total budget.
