Objectives

The objectives of the PEP network are to:

  • Better understand the causes and consequences of poverty.
  • Propose alternative/accompanying policies to reduce poverty.
  • Improve the monitoring and measurement of poverty.
  • Develop local research (and training) capacity in these areas.
  • Develop new concepts and methodologies through fundamental research.

 

 

 Subnetworks

The PEP network is composed of three tightly linked constituent networks.

Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) designs and pilots community based monitoring and local development systems of poverty in its multidimensional sense.

Modeling and Policy Impact Analysis (MPIA) uses economy-wide models and analysis as a "laboratory" to identify and analyse the links between specific policies and shocks and their impacts on poverty.

Poverty Monitoring, Measurement and Analysis (PMMA) develops and applies analytical tools to monitor, measure and analyze a wide range of poverty issues.
