The CHARS have always captured my imagination. "The Government of Bangladesh has approved and formally sponsors the outsourced CLP model, but it remains to be seen whether they will expand such approaches to public services and safety net delivery using their own funds." Ultimately, though, DFID can make the case for alternative ways of supporting the poor by demonstrating results, showing the evidence, and going where governments themselves might be shy to go but subsequently might be persuaded to adopt the approach if the results are right. In the UK we tried, tested and piloted several approaches to tackling poverty - mixing the universal model with targeted geographical interventions. We are still learning and improving - in today's climate where value for money is key, it's only right that we seek to improve on our previous best efforts. Enjoyed reading this post.

Our health review team visited a District hospital where mothers who would never normally have access to safe delivery facilities had very recently given birth thanks to a voucher scheme funded by DFID and a number of other donors. Fifty miles away in the Chars I and the other workshop participants visited a village and met a number of women - some of the most vulnerable people on the planet - who had been given assets of their choice (typically a pair of cows) and had their homes raised on clay plinths above the seasonal flood level, as well as a range of other support to enable them to become self-sufficient. … Both of these programmes contribute to the Millennium Development Goals, and produce results that few people interested in the welfare of the poorest would argue with.
