8 How is the PPI Created? Start with a representative national income/expenditure survey Analyze the data to rank indicators that strongly correlate with poverty Indicators are tested and vetted with local MFIs and representatives ti Results are highly accurate. With 90% confidence, most PPIs are: Accurate within +/- 2% for groups Accurate within +/-10% for individuals id Progress Out of Poverty Index Overview 8
9 Construction of the PPI National Survey All indicators on the national household survey are ranked according to how strongly they predict poverty levels. The full list of indicators is narrowed to the 100 most powerful ones. 100 indicators Using both statistics and expert judgment, a 10 indicator scorecard is constructed. 10 indicators PPI Each possible response is assigned point value based on the original national survey responses. The total score (summing from 0 to 100) is then linked to probabilities of falling above or below the poverty lines. Progress Out of Poverty Index Overview 9
10 What Does the PPI Look Like? Indicator Response Points Do all children ages 6 to 17 attend school? What is the household's main source of drinking water?

20 Questions Progress Out of Poverty Index Overview 20
21 Appendix: The Methodology to Identify Indicators All indicators are ranked using Logit regression analysis. Of the complete original set of indicators 150 indicators are chosen for additional analysis according to their power of predicting poverty. Of those 150 indicators the final selection of 10 indicators is made according the following criteria: Likelihood of acceptance by users (determined by simplicity, cost of collection, and face validity in terms of experience, theory, and common sense) Inexpensive to collect Easy to ask and answer quickly Ease in which to observe and verify Variety vis-à-vis other indicators already in the PPI Ability of the indicator to change values as poverty status changes over time Strong correlation with poverty Indicator chosen can be grouped into the categories: Household and housing characteristics (such as cooking fuel and type of floor) Individual characteristics (such as age and highest grade completed) Household durable goods (such as electric fans and telephones) Frequently, many indicators are found to be similar in terms of their link with poverty. For example, most households who have a television also have electricity. If a PPI already includes has a television, then has electricity is superfluous. Thus, many indicators strongly link with poverty are not in the PPI because similar indicators are already included. The selected indicator is then added to the PPI, and the previous steps are repeated until 10 indicators are selected. Finally, the responses are weighted and scores are derived such that the lowest possible score is 0 (most likely poor) and the highest is 100. Progress Out of Poverty Index Overview 21
