This poverty note analyzes the
usefulness of poverty maps, and how they can be constructed
using census and survey data, for the use and benefit of
policy makers to focus scarce development resources. The
note goes on to describe various kinds of poverty maps, such
as those based on indexes of welfare, basic needs
indicators, and disaggregated consumption-based factors.
Methodologies to create these maps, are further discussed at
some length.
