The Reaching the Poor Program (RPP) is an effort to begin finding better
ways of ensuring that the benefits of health, nutrition, and population
(HNP) programs flow to disadvantaged population groups. It has been
undertaken by the World Bank, in cooperation with the Gates Foundation
and the Dutch and Swedish Governments.

"...Health services can make an important contribution to improved
health conditions among disadvantaged groups. Yet, the services
supported by governments and development agencies too often fail to
reach these people who need them most.

This is not acceptable. Nor need it be accepted. For there are numerous
exceptions to the normal pattern of inequitable service delivery. These
demonstrate the feasibility of reaching the poor much more effectively
than at present, and point to promising ways for doing so....."


Reaching the Poor with Health, Nutrition, and Population Services
marshals the available evidence about pro-poor strategies that have
proven to be effective and that can help in the development of programs
to better assist disadvantaged groups. In doing so, it can serve as a
resource for policy makers, development practitioners, and policy
analysts concerned with health conditions among the poor.
