How the impacts can be enhanced |
| The Ministry of Education used Guatemala’s poverty map
to verify whether scholarships had been allocated to the poorest
municipalities (1). |
The maps verified that the scholarship program – involving
the distribution of US$40 scholarships per year to 30,000 students – was
well targeted. |
Long term in-country training in comparative analyses is needed. |
| The Social Investment Fund (SIF) used Panama’s poverty
map to target its school lunch program (1). |
This approach improved the targeting of approximately US$2 million
in SIF program funds, affecting annually approximately 120,000
students – recipients of the school lunch program – in
1,500 schools. |
