   Excellent study, hats off to authors!
   Wish to add three more reasons why poor have not benefited from investments on infrastructure.
   a) In the planning process, the poor people were not identified and planning itself was undertaken poor exclusive
   b) The method/s adopted to rehabilitate/ build infrastructure have not been pro-poor. The implementation team decided to get construction work done through private contractors or politicized institutions both of which did not pay attention to poor in the area. Their main interest was to maximize profits for themselves from investments. Hence, poor lost the opportunity to work in construction and thereby could not benefit by way of wages.
   c) The design teams did not include poverty/social but technical specialists only. This made it difficult for implementers to identify poor people, to plan strategies to get them involved and to brain-storm on other projects/activities to be funded so that poor people benefit more from investments.
