Abstract
“Poverty Stoplight” is both a metric and a methodology. Program staff works directly with families in poor communities to complete an easy-to-use, picture-based survey to evaluate poverty levels across a variety of dimensions and indicators. Indicators are self-assessed by the individuals and families who participate, creating data from the bottom up; the method includes measures of agency and organization, is designed to include only indicators that are actionable and; the survey is designed to empower individuals completing the self-assessment, particularly female heads of households. The report details methodology, activities, outputs and outcomes of the project.
