This study is an outcome of the collaborative research agreement
between International Food Policy Research Institute and BRAC. IFPRI’s
Food Consumption and Nutrition Division and BRAC’s Research and
Evaluation Division jointly carried out this study to assess the impact of
the CFPR programme on livelihoods of the ultra poor in Bangladesh.
While several studies have looked into the components of the CFPR programme and its impacts (Rabbani et al. 2006, Haseen and Sulaiman
2007), this study uses rigorous, state-of-the-art techniques to assess the
impact of the programme on welfare outcomes of its beneficiaries.
