Abstract
This report presents the results of applying a recently developed technique for obtaining high-resolution poverty maps to the provinces of East Kalimantan, Jakarta, and East Java in Indonesia. The purpose of this exercise is to try out the applicability of the poverty mapping method given the available data in Indonesia. The report is consisted of two parts. Part I is a technical report describing the steps that have been taken in the exercise. Part II presents the results of the exercise of poverty and inequality point estimates and standard errors. The results appear to support the extension of the method application to the rest of the country.
