The National Co-ordinator of GNHR, Dr. Prosper Laari, expressed the need for a scientific identification and categorization of vulnerable in the country. He said the leadership of the country cannot continue to select beneficiaries of social protection programmes in ways other than households that truly need it. Dr. Laari said the proxy means test by the GNHR therefore helps in using verifiable indicators to categorize households as poor, non-poor and extremely poor. ---DECRYPTED---
