      abstract = {Geographic targeting is often recommended as a way to  improve the impact
of social spending and infrastructure  investments on rural poverty. Previous
research shows that  such targeting is not very accurate unless the geographic  units
are small. Household surveys, however, rarely allow  the estimation of poverty rates
for more than 5-10 regions  in a country. This study develops a method for
generating  disaggregated poverty maps and applies the method to Viet  Nam. First,
the relationship between rural poverty and 25  household indicators is estimated
using household survey  data. Then, census data on those same indicators are
used  to estimate the poverty rates for each of the 543 rural  districts in Viet Nam.
The results indicate that poverty is  concentrated in the north and in districts furthest
from  the coast and cities.},
