Buildingon this experience, this note aims to identify feasible options to effectively reach these groups, as government programs expand. Depending on program-specific choices about geographic focus andindividual, household eligibility, identifying poor and vulnerable areas and people in Myanmar can become more evidence-based, effective, and systematic, as better data become available and administrative systems develop. While targeting is currently done by individual programs, there can be important economies of scale in sharing and developing these systems in a coordinated manner so as to support multiple programs.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOHOUSEHOLD SURVEYRISKSVILLAGE LEADERSEMPLOYMENT GENERATIONINCOMESCHOOLINGEQUITABLE ACCESSPROGRAM IMPLEMENTATIONPROGRAMSMONITORING DATAMONITORINGHOUSINGREGIONAL DIVERSITYPOOR PEOPLEPROJECTSPOORER HOUSEHOLDSINCOME SUPPORTQUALITYSOCIAL ASSISTANCECONFLICTBENEFICIARIESMEASURESCURRENT POVERTYDIRECT BENEFICIARIESACCESS TO EDUCATIONREGIONFISCAL CONSTRAINTSPOORER AREASPOVERTY REDUCTIONDISADVANTAGED AREASVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSINCOME INSECURITYVILLAGE DEVELOPMENTPOOR EDUCATIONPOOR CHILDRENTRANSFERSPOOR AREASACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESHOUSEHOLD INCOMEPOVERTY STATUSPOVERTY MAPSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSINDICATORSRESEARCHSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SECURITYPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSSOCIAL INDICATORSSERVICE DELIVERYVULNERABLE AREASCASH TRANSFERSHOUSEHOLD HEADSEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMPOVERTY DATAFOOD SECURITYLIVELIHOODTRANSPARENCYETHNIC CONFLICTPARTICIPATIONCAPACITY CONSTRAINTSCAPACITY-BUILDINGVULNERABLE GROUPSEXTERNAL MONITORINGFLEXIBILITYBASIC INFRASTRUCTURESAFETY NETINCOME DISTRIBUTIONABSOLUTE POVERTYMALNUTRITIONRURALNUTRITIONFOOD TRANSFERSPUBLIC WORKSVULNERABLE PEOPLEREGIONAL STAKEHOLDERSSURVEYSFOOD INSECURITYPOVERTY INDICATORSTARGETINGGEOGRAPHIC TARGETINGREGIONSVILLAGE LEVELEVALUATIONSTATISTICSACCESS TO SERVICESREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTPOVERTYRURAL AREASFEEDING PROGRAMSINCIDENCE OF POVERTYBENEFICIARY HOUSEHOLDSECONOMIC INDICATORSRISK MANAGEMENTLIVELIHOODSPOORPOVERTY IMPACTOUTCOMESRURAL DEVELOPMENTREMOTE AREASPOOR WOMENPOOR HOUSEHOLDSReportWorld Bank10.1596/22329
