This chapter discusses how Dibao is funded and shows the dual logic of Dibao distribution using a combination of qualitative fieldwork and a survey of 100 neighborhoods. The chapter focuses on the urban neighborhood, which plays a crucial role in the Dibao application process, as well as the surveillance and management of targeted populations, who are prioritized for Dibao. It provides background on the targeted population program, the functioning of neighborhood surveillance networks, and how heuristics are used to identify targeted populations. This chapter shows how Dibao administrators turn away many poor households who can participate in the labor market while at the same time actively helping able-bodied individuals get access to Dibao who are similarly poor but belong to targeted populations.Less
