- Summary:
-
"More Than a Pretty Picture: Using Poverty Maps to Design Better Policies and Interventions is an in-depth study on how SAE poverty maps can be used to promote change and improve the quality of life for poor people. Presenting the experiences of 12 countries, this volume illustrates a wide range of impacts that poverty maps can have on policy making - from targeting programs and resources, to opening new dialogues on poverty, adjusting existing programs and systems, tailoring programs to local conditions, strengthening accountability, and promoting evidence-based decision making. This publication also outlines the processes whereby these maps were created, adopted, and used, and it extracts lessons for increasing the impact of these poverty maps."--BOOK JACKET.
