Description

This Research Roundup reports on the pilot phase of BRAC's æChallenging the Frontiers of Poverty Reduction/Targeting the Ultra Poor Programme' (CFPR/TUP), which was initiated in three of the poorest districts of northern Bangladesh (Nilphamari, Rangpur, and Kurigram) in January 2002. The authors find a close link between the initial conditions of the programme participants and the degree of change they have experienced in their lives since its inception, with the most vulnerable reporting the least change. Some modifications to the CFPR/TUP are recommended.<p>This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.</p>
