The report is the culmination of a comprehensive year-long Aus AID funded collaboration between the Fiji Islands Bureau of Statistics (FIBOS) and the World Bank to develop new poverty measures and maps that produce poverty estimates at highly disaggregated levels. The report draws on the last two rounds of Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) (from 2002-3 and 2007-8) as well as the national census of 2007. According to the expenditure based estimates developed in this report, in 2008/09 just over a third of the Fijian population lived in poverty. Poverty in Fiji is driven by multiple factors. The report presents the first national level poverty maps created for Fiji and in the Pacific using the national census, which provides a powerful visual depiction of poverty pockets that can help to ensure that anti-poverty programs reach the poor.CC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTANNUAL GROWTHANNUAL GROWTH RATEANTI-POVERTYAVERAGE GROWTHCAPACITY BUILDINGCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMCHANGES IN POVERTYCONSUMPTION AGGREGATECONSUMPTION BASKETCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURESCONSUMPTION PER CAPITACONSUMPTION POVERTYCONSUMPTION QUINTILESCONSUMPTION SMOOTHINGCORRELATES OF POVERTYCOST OF FOODDECLINE IN POVERTYDETERMINANTS OF POVERTYDEVELOPMENT INDICATORSDIRECT BENEFICIARIESECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION LEVELELDERLY HOUSEHOLDSELDERLY PEOPLEELIGIBILITYEMPLOYMENT STATUSESTIMATES OF POVERTYESTIMATION METHODEXCHANGE RATEEXPLANATORY VARIABLESEXTREME POVERTYFAMILY ASSISTANCEFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFOOD BASKETFOOD BUNDLEFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD EXPENDITUREFOOD EXPENDITURESFOOD GOODSFOOD ITEMSFOOD NEEDSFOOD POVERTYFOOD POVERTY LINEFOOD PRICESFOOD PRODUCTSFOOD REQUIREMENTSGDPGEOGRAPHICAL REGIONGINI COEFFICIENTGROWTH RATEHEADCOUNT POVERTYHEADCOUNT RATIOHEALTH EXPENDITURESHIGH GROWTHHIGH POVERTYHIGHER INCIDENCE OF POVERTYHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD INCOMESHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDRENHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCIDENCE ANALYSISINCOME GROUPSINCOME POVERTYINDICATOR OF POVERTYINEQUALITYINSURANCELABOR FORCELIFE EXPECTANCYLITERACYLIVING STANDARDSLOW INCOMEMEAN EXPENDITUREMEAN GROWTHMEATMILKNATIONAL ACCOUNTSNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY HEADCOUNTNUTRITIONOLD AGEPARTICIPATION OF BENEFICIARIESPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA EXPENDITUREPOLICY ISSUESPOLICY OPTIONSPOORPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY CHANGEPOVERTY DECLINEPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATEPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATESPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MAPPOVERTY MAPPINGPOVERTY MAPPING METHODOLOGYPOVERTY MAPSPOVERTY MEASUREPOVERTY MEASUREMENTPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY PROFILESPOVERTY PROGRAMSPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY STATUSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRO-POORRAPID GROWTHREDUCING POVERTYREDUCTION IN POVERTYREGIONAL DISPARITIESREGIONAL DIVERGENCEREGIONAL LEVELREGIONAL PLANNINGREGIONAL PRICEREGIONAL VICE PRESIDENTREMOTE AREASRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRURALRURAL AREASRURAL FARMERSRURAL FEMALERURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYRURAL PRICESSAFETY NETSAVINGSSCHOOLINGSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSPATIAL ANALYSISSPATIAL DIMENSIONSPATIAL DISPERSIONSQUARED POVERTY GAPSQUATTER SETTLEMENTSTANDARD OF LIVINGSUBSISTENCETARGETINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETOTAL POVERTYTOTAL POVERTY LINEUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASURBAN POVERTYVEGETABLESVOUCHERSWELFARE INDICATORWELFARE PROGRAMSWorld Bank10.1596/2791
