This change in resource allocation, shifting the emphasis from distribution based on population and area to a greater focus on poverty, is in line with agreements outlined in the Project's Financing Agreement, and is expected to better target beneficiaries in the bottom expenditure quintile. In addition, development of a management information system (MIS) to administer DDM's safety net programs in a more efficient and transparent manner, and manage BBS' Bangladesh Poverty Database (BPD) to allow for greater equity in safety net program targeting, is expected to be underway. The data collection process to generate the BPD is scheduled to commence in Rangpur Division in early 2015.
