This volume presents eleven case studies that document how well or
poorly health, nutrition, and population programs have reached
disadvantaged groups in the countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin
America where they were undertaken. The studies were commissioned
by the Reaching the Poor Program, undertaken by the Word Bank in
cooperation with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the
Dutch and Swedish governments, in an effort to find better ways of
ensuring that health, nutrition, and population programs benefit
the neediest. These case studies, reinforced by other material
gathered by the Reaching the Poor Program, indicate clearly that
health programs do not have to be inequitable. Although most
health, nutrition, and population services achieve much lower
coverage among disadvantaged groups than among the better-off, many
significant and instructive exceptions exist. These show that the
poor can be reached much more effectively than at present and point
to potentially promising strategies for doing so.
