Résumé
This study compares two targeting mechanisms commonly used in Africa ; proxy mean test (PMT) and community- based targeting (CBT). The performance comparison of the two methods is extended through a new set of poverty criteria : health and nutrition. First, consumption per capita household was used as the main welfare metric. Then, household health index was created based on the household survey. This index was used the determine household welfare level. Lastly, nutrition score was used as a welfare metric. For this purpose, household dietary diversity score (HDDS) was calculated based on 12 food group. Results showed that while PMT outperforms on consumption welfare metric, CBT outperforms on health and nutrition welfare metric. These indicated that poverty perception of the community doesn’t solely base on the consumption like PMT formula.
