Review of Food-Friendly Programme for the Ultra-poor
The term 'ultra-poor' is a subset of
the 'people under the poverty line'
(not 'mutually exclusive')
Risk of misidentification
('inclusion', 'exclusion', 'duplication'
and 'fake' identity)
☐ Concerned authorities partly
addressed 'selection' problem
through cancellation of 4.5% of
beneficiaries and 1.3% dealers
☐ Gap between actual received and
targeted rice was on average 11 kg
per beneficiary: indication of
inefficiency and weakness in the
distribution process
☐ The Division-wise distribution of rice
under the FFP is not fully overlapped with
the national level distribution of ultra-
poor: there is scope for improvement in
targeting at national level planning
