• There may be fragmentation and limited communication across groups, especially<br />

s<strong>in</strong>ce safety nets were <strong>in</strong>troduced (a new structure <strong>in</strong> addition to DPPC).<br />

• Hierarchical process (region, zone, woreda) implies that <strong>the</strong>re is considerable<br />

<strong>in</strong>formation available, but <strong>in</strong> a fragmented form because <strong>of</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>tegration <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>formation system.<br />

Government does not <strong>in</strong>tend for this to be a permanent program.<br />
