Economic vulnerability / livelihood security, background document
Workshop on the Impacts of Poverty Maps:
Past Experiences and New Applications, Brussels Workshop, May 21st, 2003
| Application | Impacts | How the impacts can be enhanced |
| IFPRI is evaluating economic vulnerability and poverty in Malawi (18). | This research will contribute to a better understanding of the spatial factors that contribute to high poverty levels and household economic vulnerability – information that may help guide key policy, investment, and strategy decisions in Malawi. | |
| ILRI and FAO/FIVIMS are mapping livelihoods assets in Kenya – information usually not captured in poverty maps (19). | Results will identify areas with high to low assets/services - information envisioned to improve targeting of poverty alleviation policies and interventions in Kenya. |
