Major policy reforms being implemented under the Project are largely on track, and a 2015 household survey of five major safety net programs implemented by DDM suggests positive performance in terms of coverage of the poorest, benefits received by the poorest, and beneficiary awareness of program rules – these three factors collectively encapsulate the Project Development Objective. Development of a management information system for DDM safety net programs and for the BBS administered Bangladesh Poverty Database (BPD) is currently underway. Data collection for the BPD is scheduled to commence in FY 2017 once all relevant contracts are awarded and logistical support is in place, with data being made available to interested line ministries on a rolling basis. BBS has also signed agreements with the Local Government Division for verification of birth registration data, as well as to provide poverty data to target potential beneficiaries of a cash transfer program supported by the Income Support Program for the Poorest (ISPP) Project.
