Poverty Assessment

Poverty assessment is the process of measuring and understanding how many people lack the basic resources and opportunities needed for a decent quality of life, such as income, education, healthcare, and housing. It involves collecting data on income levels, living conditions, and access to services to identify those in need. This helps policymakers and organizations design effective programs to reduce poverty, improve well-being, and promote economic and social development. In essence, it’s a way to evaluate where poverty exists and how severe it is, so targeted efforts can be made to support vulnerable populations.
