It was prompted by the proposal by the government of Malawi to establish a publicly supported safety net system in partnership with a consortium of donors, which would, among other things, operate on the basis of the principle of community targeting for purposes of maximising efficiency and effectiveness. The purpose of this study was therefore threefold: to find out whether communities could develop criteria for targeting beneficiaries; to establish whether communities could make decisions on who to include and exclude as beneficiaries on the basis of criteria identified; and to seek their views on how the safety net transfers could be efficiently and effectively managed. The results demonstrated that there is great resistance to targeting but nevertheless communities have clear ideas on whom to target and on how to make the selection and distribution processes fair, transparent and accountable. Cet article présente les résultats d'une étude sur la mise en œuvre de filets de sécurité ciblés au Malawi. Elle a été suscitée par une proposition du gouvernement visant à mettre en place un système de filet de sécurité financé sur fonds publics et appuyé par un consortium de donateurs. Pour être plus efficace, ce système reposerait sur le principe du ciblage des communautés. Dès lors, les objectifs de cette étude sont les suivants: 1) découvrir si des communautés pourraient développer des critères pour cibler les bénéficiaires; 2) si les communautés peuvent prendre des décisions incluant ou excluant des personnes du groupe des bénéficiaires sur la base de ces critères; 3) solliciter leurs avis sur la façon dont les transferts liés aux filets de sécurité pourraient être gérés efficacement. Les résultats montrent qu'il y a une grande résistance face au ciblage mais néanmoins les communautés ont les idées claires sur ceux qu'il faut atteindre, sur les moyens de les identifier et sur la façon de procéder pour que la distribution soit juste, transparente et responsable. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of European Journal of Development Research is the property of Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
