Maps and Graphics

This section of this website has previously held a directory of selected examples of poverty maps. We have not been satisfied with the quality of the entries, nor the technical implementation of the database - and in addition we have not been able to continue the maintenance of this section, which has been removed, as of July 2007. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and please give us feedback on this development, or if you desperately need something from the old database.

Links to websites with examples of poverty maps:

• Case studies from the Poverty Mapping project
• World maps of undernutrition among children, as a poverty indicator (by FAO) - also available in French and Spanish.
• Maps on poverty and biodiversity (World, Africa), to investigate where they coincide
• CIESIN/SEDAC - Global distribution of Poverty
• Poverty maps from Earthtrends/WRI
• Food security maps from FIVIMS
• Maps and Graphics related to poverty from the UNEP/GRID-Arendal maps and graphics database
• Please also see our links and resources section, as well as our publications database - both of these contains numerous examples of poverty mapping.
