Participatory poverty assessment : incorporating poor people's perspectives into poverty assessment work
Salmen, Lawrence F.
A foundation stone of the World Bank's sharpened poverty strategy is to conduct Country Poverty Assessments in all borrowing countries within the next two years. These assessments have the following principal elements: a poverty profile (which analyses the depth, social and cultural nature, gender disparities and geographic spread of poverty); a review of current government policies relating to poverty; an analysis of pertinent public expenditures and institutions; an overview of nongovernmental organizations and community-based organizations working toward the alleviation of poverty; an analysis of the safety nets (both government programs and sociocultural mechanisms) in place; and based on the above a suggested country strategy of priority measures the government should take to reduce poverty. This paper proposes to supplement conventional poverty assesments with an effort to involve key groups of vulnerable people, among them women and members of indigenous communities and racial and ethnic minority goups.
