Targeting Approach of SPPAP: Project is following three unique targeting approaches i.e. Geographical Targeting, Poverty Targeting and Gender Targeting. Firstly, SPPAP has focused on the poorest union councils in the poorest tehsils of ten less developed/backward districts.  Secondly, SPPAP is following a focused poverty approach by using the information generated by the BISP National Poverty Score Card Survey (NPSC) to identify households in the poorest poverty bands (0-23). Thirdly, SPPAP is highly gender sensitive project and inclusion of women ensured by specifying women as either sole beneficiaries of an intervention or by specifying quotas for them

The principal outcomes expected from the project include enhanced capacity for sustainable livelihoods through asset transfers, enhanced capacity for employment and productive self-employment, enhanced access to basic services, increased productivity and production of agriculture produce and strengthened local capacity for agriculture and livestock service provision. The principal outcome expected from project management is efficient and cost effective use of project and complementary donor resources to achieve the development objective.
