Bedi, TaraCoudouel, AlineSimler, Kenneth2012-05-312012-05-312007978-0-8213-6931-9https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6800This publication offers crucial lessons for policy makers and development experts who may be considering using small area poverty maps as tools of economic development and helps add to our array of tools for dealing with the political economy issues of poverty. It represents a major contribution to a little understood aspect of the well-known adage "location, location, location," demonstrating that the conceptualization of poverty at the local level represents an important step in our fight against poverty. Insights from the diverse experiences of 12 countries are drawn together in the first two chapters, on key elements in the successful implementation and utilization of poverty maps and on the political economy of poverty maps. The case studies in the volume highlight the wide range of policies and interventions that have been influenced by poverty maps, including, but not limited to, the location of investments and services, the creation of district and municipal development plans, and the allocation of grants and fiscal transfers. They show that successfully implemented and appropriately utilized poverty maps may lead to radical shifts in the perception of poverty and in strategies designed to address poverty.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EMPLOYMENTACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO SERVICESADOLESCENTSAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL WAGESAGRICULTURAL WORKERSAIR POLLUTIONALCOHOL ABUSEANXIETYASSISTANCE TO FAMILIESBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBASIC NEEDSBOTH SEXESCAPACITY BUILDINGCHILD CARECHILD LABORCITIZENSCITY PLANNINGCLINICSCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTCOMMUNITY SERVICESCRIMECRIME PREVENTIONCRIMESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDOMESTIC VIOLENCEDRINKING WATEREARLY MARRIAGEECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC RESOURCESEDUCATION OF WOMENELDERLYEMPLOYMENT INCOMEEMPLOYMENT INCOMESEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEVICTIONEXTREME POVERTYFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY WELFAREFEMALEFEMALE LABOR FORCEFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFEMALESFOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONSFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD FOR EDUCATIONFOOD ITEMSFOOD POLICYGAMBLINGGENDERGENDER NORMSGLOBAL MARKETSGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH CAREHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH SERVICESHIGH POPULATION DENSITYHOUSEHOLD ASSETSHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSESHOUSINGHOUSING MARKETSHOUSING POLICYHOUSING PROBLEMSHOUSING RIGHTSHUMAN CAPITALHYGIENEILLEGAL CONNECTIONSILLEGAL SETTLEMENTSILLNESSINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINEQUALITYINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTEGRATED RURAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEINTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONINTERVENTIONSJOB OPPORTUNITIESLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLAND OWNERSHIPLAND PRICESLAND SUBDIVISIONLARGE CITIESLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVEL OF POVERTYLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIMITED RESOURCESLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL MUNICIPALITIESMALE SUPPORTMARRIED WOMENMATERNAL HEALTHMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMINOR CHILDRENMOBILE HEALTH UNITSNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATIONAL LEVELNEGATIVE EXTERNALITIESNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSOCCUPATIONOCCUPATIONSOWNERSHIP OF LANDPHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTPOLICY CHANGEPOLICY LEVELPOLICY RESEARCHPOORPOOR AREASPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR HOUSINGPOOR LIVINGPOOR PEOPLEPOOR WOMENPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION PROJECTIONSPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY HEADPOVERTY HEAD COUNT INDEXPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MAPPINGPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPREGNANCYPREVENTION COMPONENTSPREVENTION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC WORKSPULL FACTORSPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYPUSH FACTORSQUALITY OF LIFERADIOREMITTANCESRESETTLEMENTRESOURCE CONSTRAINTSRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL MIGRANTSRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYRURAL VILLAGESRURAL WAGESSANITATIONSAVINGSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCIENTIFIC STUDY OF POPULATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMSSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSHELTERSLUMSLUM AREASLUM AREASSLUM DWELLERSSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL CONDITIONSSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL WELFARESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTT.V.TECHNICAL CAPACITYTRAFFICUNEMPLOYMENTUNFPAURBAN AREASURBAN BIASURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN ENVIRONMENTURBAN GOVERNANCEURBAN GROWTH RATEURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POVERTYURBAN SLUMSURBAN STUDIESURBANIZATIONVICTIMSVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENWOMANWORKING POPULATIONWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG CHILDRENYOUNG GIRLSYOUNG WOMENYOUTHZONINGWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6931-9https://doi.org/10.1596/978-0-8213-6931-9
