households fell into poverty. Thus the risk of entering poverty is only around 1% in
presence of a programme.

Chi-square = 174.08 with 1 df (sig. 0.00).
Off-diagonal entries add up 17.6% with 16.8% moving upward and 0.8% downward.
The downward movement is considerably less than overall transition measured by
quantitative poverty in developing countries (Baulch and Hoddinott 2000)9.
Statistically, before-after poverty situation is significantly different.
Downward mobility is in fact nil among the households which remained active in the
programme until 2006 (Table 2). This surely indicates a positive contribution of the
programme toward poverty reduction.
