Abstract
Targeted interventions are a key strategy in the toolbox of governments. Their design, implementation and assessment set several challenges. In this paper we propose an analytical framework for interventions targeting the poorest. The framework splits the intervention into sub-components. For each sub-component, key issues and options are identified and roles of different actors are reviewed. We illustrate the framework with an example from the health sector, the experience of the health equity funds in Cambodia.
