Poverty Maps of Bangladesh 2010 : Key Findings
Poverty mapping is a statistical
exercise to estimate the incidence of poverty at
sub-national levels to enable the government, civil society
organizations, and development partners to accurately
identify locations with a relatively higher concentration of
poor people. The current poverty mapping exercise was
initiated in September 2012 by the Bangladesh bureau of
statistics (BBS), the World Bank, and the World food program
(WFP) to produce reliable poverty estimates for key
subnational administrative units (zila and upazila) using
data from both the 2010 household income and expenditure
survey (HIES) and the 2011 population census. Poverty
mapping is a powerful tool for identifying and monitoring
pockets of affluence and poverty across the country. The
usefulness of poverty maps can be further reinforced by
combining them with other geo-referenced databases such as
maps of human development indicators, maps of natural
disasters, and maps of the impending impacts of climate change.
