Innovations in Poverty Measurement : Seven Design Lessons on the Use of Advisory Committees to Improve Official Poverty Estimates in Peru
Between 2004 and 2007, no annual official statistics on poverty existed in Peru. This was due to serious problems with the household survey used to estimate poverty and implemented by the National Statistical Institute (INEI). Many of the technical...

| description |
Between 2004 and 2007, no annual
official statistics on poverty existed in Peru. This was due
to serious problems with the household survey used to
estimate poverty and implemented by the National Statistical
Institute (INEI). Many of the technical issues arose from
changes in the survey instrument, data collection practices
and delays in updating poverty measurement methodologies.
This put on hold poverty analyses for more than three years,
time during which little was known about changes in poverty,
inequality and the effectiveness of policies to reduce
poverty. Instead of providing direct technical assistance to
INEI, the World Bank team proposed the creation of an
external Advisory Committee (AC) whose role would be to: 1)
discuss, advice and reach a consensus on the best
methodology that could be used to improve and produce
comparable poverty estimates in Peru; and 2) oversee the
work of an inter-institutional technical team who would
implement the AC's recommendations. This
inter-institutional approach was aimed at helping INEI to
create an environment of openness and transparency necessary
to improve its credibility and relationship with its clients
and the public. |
