| Summary: | This Note chronicles the Philippine’s
experience in undertaking a national household targeting
system—Listahanan—which has had two rounds of implementation
since developed in 2007. Besides the main operational
features of the system, the data used, enhancements made in
the 2015 round, the Note also highlights the process as well
as key decisions that were made in selecting the final
technical design of both rounds that allow the system to
identify and locate poor households across the Philippines.
It offers some recommendations on how the Philippine
targeting system can maintain its functionality and
relevance as it matures. This Note contributes to the body
of global knowledge on establishing effective targeting
systems that other countries can use as a resource. |
