Developing countries have long relied on foreign aid and international NGOs to providesupplemental public goods such as communal drinking water points. Exploitinga geospatial dataset of water projects in Uganda, I consider both eectiveness andtargeting of projects. To evaluate eectiveness as practiced at scale, I use a retrospectivedesign that links placement of water projects with Demographic andHealth Survey (DHS) clusters, nding that over a ve year span, protected sourcesproduce statistically signicant improvement of weight-for-age, height-for-age, fever,and hemoglobin levels, but not of weight-for-height and diarrhea. In exploring povertytargeting, I link water data with spatial poverty data and argue for a relativetargeting measure that compares dierent entity types to one another in terms ofhow progressive their allocation of projects is. Finally, I use a similar procedure toanalyze placement in terms of its correlation with election outcomes.
