Poverty Measurement Report using PPI - MIFAN Nepal

Using PPI base for poverty measurement

The purpose of the Progress out of Poverty Index (PPI) pilot project was to develop an understanding of the Microfinance Association of Nepal (MIFAN) and its members vis-a-vis the PPI base poverty measurement, and understand how to use PPI results to assess performance against social missions, as well as product and service design. The PPI pilot project is implemented by two members of MIFAN: the Development Projects Service Center (DEPROSC) and the Nepal Rural Development Organisation (NeRuDO). DEPROSC and NeRuDO selected branches (not representative samples) in Bara and Parsa districts respectively for this PPI pilot. The PPI survey, which took place from June 14-26, 2010 and was conducted by credit officers and field supervisors, presents findings on 4,038 clients (DEPROSC 2,238 and NeRuDO 1,800), all women. This is the first implementation of PPI in DEPROSC and NeRuDO, so the data and results provide a baseline for the branches to use for future comparisons.
