Abstract
This note deals with the extent to
which, and the means by which, project level distributional
analysis of benefits can be undertaken and how poverty
impact indicators can be developed. Section 1 sets out the
issues associated with using traditional cost benefit
analysis for the appraisal of pro-poor projects. Section 2
discusses the techniques and analysis available to consider
the distributional consequences of a transport change,
whilst Section 3 sets out a number of indicators that can be
used for measuring poverty impacts. A summary of the key
recommendations is made in Section 4.
