Poverty measurement using Progress out of Poverty Index
This paper uses Progress out of Poverty Index (PPI) to find out the poverty levels of those being served by the Village Savings and Loan Programme (VSLP) Plan Vietnam.
The paper seeks to track changes in the poverty levels of VSLP members over time, and ascertain how the VSLP can better target its services to poor households. At the time of the PPI survey, the VSLP was serving 1,196 poor minority women organized in 76 groups in 41 villages across 7 communes of Dakrong district in Vietnam.
There’s a strong demand for basic financial services, particularly savings, flexible short-term credit and basic insurance services in remote areas of Vietnam. Plan Vietnam implements the VSL methodology in partnership with Vietnam Women’s Union (VWU). Findings of the PPI survey include:
- Poverty rate of the VSLP for different poverty lines is much higher in comparison to country level poverty rates;
- Group of households with inferior or no toilet or drinking water facilities or insufficient supply of cereals is poorer;
- VSLP is reaching a variety of households from the very poor to the non-poor.
