This book is a must read for researchers and students interested in poverty, poverty reduction, social welfare and development. It provides systematic and comparative studies on the design features, achievements and problems of targeting, set against specific national contexts. The economic focus of the analysis is balanced with sections on the political economy of targeting and management aspects (administrative systems and incentives). While the considerable variations between targeting mechanisms, schemes and contexts demonstrate the difficulties of blanket policy prescriptions, the book presents a fascinating conclusion. Rather than continuing the debate about universal versus targeted approaches, it proposes that a mixed approach might be best: the broad targeting of basic services such as primary education and health care combined with the narrow targeting of social protection schemes for the very poor. David Hulme, University of Manchester, UK Most governments attempt to target resources directly at the poor through a variety of measures including food and credit subsidies, job creation schemes and basic health and education projects. These measures are usually classified as being either promotional (to help raise welfare in the long term), or protectional (to support the poor in times of adverse shocks). However, for many Asian countries the reality of these poverty targeting measures has proved disappointing. Following a comprehensive overview by the editor, this book offers a detailed assessment of the results of directly channelling resources to the poor and extensively discusses the experience of five Asian countries India, Indonesia, the People s Republic of China, the Philippines and Thailand. The authors demonstrate how in many cases these targeting measures have failed due to their high cost and errors of both undercoverage (where many of the poor are excluded) and leakage (when many of the better-off also benefit from these schemes). The authors conclude that whilst poverty targeting remains a critically important objective, past targeting errors must not be forgotten and improved methods of both identifying and reaching the poor must be implemented. Written by leading experts in the field and including analysis of original country surveys, this seminal text documents clearly the operation and success of aid schemes in Asia. This book will make a worthy addition to the literature on development, poverty reduction, social welfare and Asian studies. It will also be an important source of reference for academics and students of economic development, aid practitioners, government officials and development NGOs.

The words of US President John F. Kennedy, "the rising tide lifts all boats," can be applied to inclusive growth in contemporary Asia, where the poor are able to participate in and benefit from economic growth. Moving Out of Poverty explores three channels through which economic growth confers gains to the poor and improves the status of women. The first is creation of productive employment, as labor is typically the most abundant asset of the poor, and economic growth has created jobs in labor-intensive sectors. The second is investment in schooling which, coupled with increased opportunities to earn income, has elevated womens' status in society. The third is increased availability of improved infrastructure, which directly impacts increasing household income from wage work and self-employment activities. This book will be of great value to development economists, students and researchers interested in rural economies in Asia, and policymakers engaged in poverty reduction.

This book provides examples of possible triple-win solutions for simultaneously reducing poverty, raising the quality of the environment, and adapting to climate change. The book provides empirical evidence and observations from sixteen case studies in Southeast and East Asia, and from the Pacific. It argues that a spatial approach focussing on the environments in which the poor and vulnerable live, would trigger changes for development policies and implementation that better balance environmental and social concerns. In line with the post-2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda, emphasizing integrated development approaches for the slum poor, the upland poor, the dryland poor, the coastal poor, and the flood-affected wetland poor, would also bring the environment and poverty agenda closer. The book emerged from a cooperation of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) with the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) in partnership with experts from research institutes and think-tanks in the Asian region.

This memorandum requests the immediate reallocation of a total of SDR8.1 million (US$ , 1115 million equivalent) of Credit proceeds under eight operations to support the SARS and Infectious Diseases Response Program (hereafter referred to as the "Program"). The objective of the Program is to: (1) address emergency needs for W&S-related diagnosis, clinical management, and personal protection that are necessary to bring the current epidemic fully under control; and (2) support the Government's efforts to strengthen the capacity of the public health system more generally so that China's health system is prepared to combat the possible re-emergence of SARS and, equally important, similar infectious disease threats that might occur in the future. There are 3 program components: Component 1 supports program planning, coordination, and policy development activities. Component 2 supports clinical management of SARS patients including setting up fever clinics, renovating designated SARS hospitals and wards, training female and male health care workers, strengthening personal protection measures for health care workers, providing emergency supplies, undertaking regular supervision, and carrying out operational research. Component 3 supports disease prevention and control, with a focus on SARS and other infectious diseases including strengthening disease surveillance and case reporting. The eight operations comprise: the Environmental Technical Assistance Project (report no. P6056), the Loess Plateau Watershed Rehabilitation Project (report no. 12593), the Yangtze Basin Water Resources Project(report no. 13674), the Southwest Poverty Reduction Project (report no. 13968), the National Rural Water Supply Project (report no. 16380), the Basic Health Services Project (report no. 17403), the Fourth Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project (report no. 19226), and the Enterprise Reform Project (report no. 19300). In all cases the reallocations would neither compromise the original objectives nor the economic viability of the eight projects concerned. The respective Development Credit Agreement for each of the eight operations, listed will be amended to add a new component covering activities to be carried out under the SARS and Infectious Diseases Response Program and to enable Credit proceeds to be used to fund the activities. For activities that will be carried out by provinces, agreements will be entered into with each province for the carrying out of such activities using the proceeds of the Credit.

This book started with an objective to understand the impact of high inflation on poverty and food security in Southeast Asia. However, the global economy moved quickly into recession in 2008. Anticipating that the impact of global recession would be more severe than that of high inflation in Southeast Asia, we re-focused the title of the book to Poverty, Food, and Global Recession in Southeast Asia. By early 2010, people were already optimistic that the global recession was over or would be over soon. However, the evidence was mounting that the poor had suffered and were still suffering from the current global crisis, even if the richer individuals may have recovered. Therefore, an important question arises, Is the crisis really over for the poor? This then became the sub-title of this book. This book aims to contribute a better understanding on poverty and food security in Southeast Asia during the recent global recession considering both recent developments and the previous major crisis of 1997-98.
