advice on double counting

Hi

Having attended some of your courses I recollect your trainers suggesting that if ever we had queries please don't hesitate to ask............so I'm asking!

I am currently serving in the field in Haiti on an internship programme and am exploring the challenge of how to avoid double counting when delivering services to beneficiaries. Could you point me in any direction you can by way of documents / research / personal advice on how to tackle this conundrum?

In very general terms, if we are delivering services in a number of areas to a wide range of people, how can we avoid inflating beneficiary numbers through (for example) counting one beneficiary who has received three services as three beneficiaries? If we allocate individual identification numbers, what's to stop people who have been allocated a number claiming they haven't got such a number in order to try and receive more services?

With thanks in anticipation.
