Socio-economic vulnerability CWG targeting tool for Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance

Targeting and scoring Socio-economic vulnerability as standard targeting methodology Assessment methodology (sweeping entire neighborhoods) will remain the same. Revision of targeting tool Reactivation of Vulnerability and Targeting Taskforce MCNA data to inform new scoring and potentially adding and adjusting vulnerability indicators New tool to be developed and endorsed by CWG (deadline for final tool is end of the year 2018)

New Scoring Model: Approach Approach used: regression analysis on MCNA data, using per capita monthly consumption (expenditure) as the proxy for vulnerability Why consumption? Better predictor of household welfare (than e.g. income) – can calculate spending per person This approach estimates relationships between multiple household characteristics and behaviours and their ability to consume goods and services E.g., how does consumption vary with household size? To account for differences between regions (and to more closely align with the World Bank), regional datasets created: North, KRI, Centre-South

MPCA eligibility against poverty marker 92,000 IQD per person per month (poverty marker) Depending on how far a HHs falls from the poverty marker One month MPCA Two month MPCA Three month MPCA
