The allocation and subsequent beneficiary selection process of the government’s relief supports should be based on the proportion of vulnerable population in an area; not the size of population, speakers told a dialogue on Monday.
A number of government relief supports to tackle the situation emerging from COVID-19 and flood are allocated at the local level based on the total population of that area
These observations emerged at a virtual dialogue titled “Relief Supports and Agricultural Incentives in Response to COVID-19 and Flood: The Effectiveness of Public Service Delivery,” says a release.
