Targeted Inputs Programme (TIP) Findings of the Monitoring Component for TIP 2000-2001
TIP Monitoring- The findings • Methodology • Findings on: • Orientation • Registration • Voucher Distribution • Pack Distribution • Beneficiary Selection • Negative Impact of TIP
Methodology • Twofold Approach 1. Interviews at District Level 2. Monitors trained and sent to 108 sites: four sites in each district • Reliable data • Conclusions at National, Regional and by Distributor Group
Findings on Orientation, Registration and Voucher Distribution. • District Task Forces well organised • Area Task Forces non-existent • Village Task Forces in 70% of cases • Message reached Village Task Forces • Tension and conflict reduced - all parties involved • Registration carried out well, but unnecessarily complicated • Voucher distribution adequate, but often heavily delayed and given to the wrong people
Findings on Orientation, Registration and Voucher Distribution. Recommendations: • Involvement of all parties and direct briefing of V/H minimised conflict- but still more publicity required. • Registration process could be considerably simplified and should be public • Need time to establish working institutions • ATFs should have a role in monitoring registration and distribution
Findings on Pack Distribution. • All distributors performed poorly • Distribution dates constantly changing and delayed • Disorderly behaviour on 25% of days • Vouchers seen as very helpful • ID not required on 35% of days • Many registered but arrived without vouchers (59% days) • Many arrived with vouchers, but not registered (33% days)
Findings on Pack Distribution. Recommendations/ Observations: • Distributors must have realistic plans • Distributors must communicate • VTF members should be at distribution • Vouchers should continue to be used • Names of recipients should be written on vouchers • Distribution sites should not be moved • Security is vital
Findings on Beneficiary Selection. Did Poor People Actually Receive TIP? • The targeting of TIP towards the poorest families was not successful.
Why did TIP not reach the poorest? • Not due to the message failing • Focus on categories and not poverty • Corruption and nepotism by VTF
Recommendations • Message should be written and focus on poverty • Institutions should be elected & accountable • ATFs should monitor public selection
Negative Impact of TIP • Socially divisive impact of TIP • Negative Impact of TIP on voting • Negative Impact on participation in development activities • Must be weighed against benefits
Overall Conclusions • District Assemblies worked well • Community Targeting did not work • Distribution was badly done • TIP had a negative impact on Communities
