| Abstract | A principal objective of poverty measurement is to make comparisons between groups. Did poverty decline following implementation of a poverty reduction program? Is poverty higher in the hills or on the coast? These questions have become ever more important in recent years. Besides the high-profile Millennium Development Goal of halving world poverty by 2015, country development programs and donor support are increasingly driven by the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) process, which requires close monitoring of poverty levels and detectable progress in reducing poverty. |
