22 U.S.C. § 262g–1 — Targeting assistance to specific populations

(a) Congressional findings. Congress finds that there is a need for concerted international efforts to deal with the problems of malnutrition, low life expectancy, childhood disease, underemployment, and low productivity in developing countries. (b) Assistance to poorest populations. Congress notes with approval that the Inter-American Development Bank, under the terms of its Fifth Replenishment, adopted the target that 50 percent of its lending benefit the poorest groups, and has developed a usable method for determining the proportion of its lending that actually benefits those groups.
