1. POVERTY PLAN ASSESSMENT MPA 210 PRESENTED BY CHRISTINE P. ARTACHO PROFESSOR: JOSEFINA B. BITONIO, DPA

2. Topic Outline: I. Definition of Poverty II. Poverty Assessment III. Participatory Poverty Assessment

3. Poverty is a state or condition in which one lacks the financial resources and essentials for a certain standard of living. Poverty can have diverse social, economic, and political causes and effects. United Nations: Poverty is a denial of choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society. DEFINING POVERTY

4. European Union (EU): Poverty is measured in relation to the distribution of income in each member country using relative income poverty lines. World Bank: Poverty is pronounced deprivation in well-being, and comprises many dimensions. It includes low incomes and the inability to acquire the basic goods and services necessary for survival with dignity. DEFINING POVERTY

5. TWO MAIN MEASURES OF EVALUATING POVERTY IN STATISTICS OR ECONOMICS Absolute Poverty compares income against the amount needed to meet basic personal needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter Relative Poverty measures when a person cannot meet a minimum level of living standards, compared to others in the same time and place. The definition of relative poverty varies from one country to another, or from one society to another.

6. POVERTY RATE Share of units in households in which total household income (divided by the number of household members) is below a given poverty line. The unit that is considered when determining poverty rates is the household itself or a person in the household. Each household member is defined to have the same poverty status (or estimated poverty likelihood) as does the household as a whole.

7. New definition of the national threshold starts with a reference food basket that provides 100 percent of the daily requirements for energy (2000 Calories) and protein and that also fulfills 80 percent of the requirements for vitamins and minerals ( Virola , 2011a). This basket is then adjusted for each province to use the cheapest locally-available items that meet the nutritional requirements, that are consistent with revealed preferences (Arndt and Simler , 2010), and that fit local practices in that they can be (and actually are) cooked and eaten (NCSB, 2011, p. 2). POVERTY STATUS

8. WORLD BANK GROUP World Bank Group has made it a mission to end extreme poverty globally by 2030. Together with the United Nations and Member States, they have been tackling this mission, as well as their mission of boosting shared prosperity. The following steps are carried out to help alleviate poverty: (1) Provide low-interest loans; (2) Zero to low-interest credits; and (3) Grants to developing countries.

9. World Bank Group “Support a wide array of investments in such areas as education, health, public administration, infrastructure, financial and private sector development, agriculture, and environmental and natural resource management.”

10. INDICATORS OF POVERTY Employment Number of household members Household composition the number of members Education School attendance Housing Type of outer walls Ownership of durable assets Sala sets or washing machines

11. Poverty assessment is a quantitative and qualitative analysis that gives a country’s officials and the Bank a basis to work together to reduce poverty and to establish an agenda for policies that are likely to succeed. Programs cannot be designed appropriately unless the Bank and the countries identify and agree on the problems that create poverty and their potential solutions. POVERTY ASSESSMENT

12. To this end, the Bank developed the poverty assessment as a tool for understanding the relationship between poverty and the policy environment and for strengthening its approach to poverty reduction. POVERTY ASSESSMENT

13. PURPOSE OF POVERTY ASSESSMENT It is designed to assess the extent and causes of poverty in a given country and to propose a strategy to ameliorate its effects.

14. Approach to analyzing and reducing poverty by incorporating the views of the poor. PPAs attempt to better understand the poor, to give the poor more influence over decisions that affect their lives, and to increase effectiveness of poverty reduction policies. PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT Before the 1990s Household-survey approaches were used to measure poverty 1992 Participatory poverty assessment was coined within the World Bank 1998 43 PPAs had been conducted: 28 in Africa, 6 in Latin America, 5 in Eastern Europe, and 4 in Asia 2012 World Bank 's Voices of the Poor is the largest PPA ever to have been conducted

15. Typically, PPAs are done within several weeks or month Whereas the following methods are carried out in PPA: PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT Field work and conducting interviews Rapid rural appraisal Participatory rural appraisal (includes use of visuals, such as matrices and diagramming) SARAR (self-esteem, associative strength, resourcefulness, action planning, and responsibility) Beneficiary assessment Focus groups

16. Field work and conducting interviews METHODS IN PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT Interviews are a qualitative research method used to collect primary data by asking one or more people about their opinions, experiences or perspectives on a particular topic or subject matter. Three main types of interviews are structured, unstructured, and semi-structured.

17. Rural rapid appraisal (RRA) METHODS IN PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT A social science approach that emerged in the early 1980s. A multidisciplinary team employs simple, nonstandard methods and the knowledge of local people to elicit, analyze, and evaluate information and hypotheses on rural life and rural resources relevant for planning action.

18. Participatory rural appraisal (includes use of visuals, such as matrices and diagramming) METHODS IN PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT The approach aims to incorporate the knowledge and opinions of rural people in the planning and management of development projects and programmes.

19. SARAR Approach METHODS IN PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT The acronym SARAR stands for the five attributes and capacities that are considered the minimum essentials for participation to be a dynamic and self-sustaining process: Self-esteem: A sense of self-worth and a valuable resource for development Associative strength: Capacity to define and work toward a common vision Resourcefulness: Capacity to visualise new solutions to problems even against the odds

20. SARAR Approach METHODS IN PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT Action planning: Combining critical thinking and creativity to come up with new, effective, and reality-based plans in which each participant has a useful and fulfilling role Responsibility: For follow-through until the commitments made are fully discharged and the hoped-for benefits achieved Developed during the 1970s and 1980s by Dr. Lyra Srinivasan and colleagues for a variety of development purposes.

21. Beneficiary assessment METHODS IN PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT Focused on gaining insights into community perspectives through interviews and group discussions at community level, by working with members of similar communities (peers) as primary field researchers.

22. Focus group METHODS IN PARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENT A research technique used to collect data through group interaction . The group comprises a small number of carefully selected people who discuss a given topic. Focus groups are used to identify and explore how people think and behave, and they throw light on why, what and how questions.

23. ORGANIZATIONS USING THE PPA APPROACH World Bank United Nations Asian Development Bank Thailand Development Institute

24. Participatory poverty assessments confirmed the multidimensional nature of poverty: RELEVANCE OF PPA The poor deal not just with lack of money, but with various problems like lack of resources, poor health, physical violence, or social isolation PPAs have also been able to access information that was not obtained in household surveys by building trust These information include sensitive topics such as child prostitution , drug use, and domestic violence that can be related to poverty
