title: Peru. Selecting beneficiaries for assistance programmes.
abstract: The most common criticism of food aid or food assistance programmes is that they fail to reach those most in need. Applying objective criteria in selecting programme beneficiaries has proved to be a difficult problem. The statistical approach developed here and used in Peru may provide the basis for both selection of beneficiaries and evaluation of food aid projects.
