Description
The Government uses the National Household Targeting System (NHTS) to identify and locate beneficiaries of targeted poverty-reduction programs. Within 360 days, the Government will enhance the NHTS by expanding its coverage from indigent households to other poor sectors, such as the rural sector (a registry of farmers may be developed as part of NHTS or independent of it), the informal sector, and indigenous peoples. CSOs will be tapped to ensure the integrity of the NHTS.
