Are we successfully targeting the poor? Source: CIMMYT
CGIAR/FAO/UNEP Poverty Mapping Project: Country Case Studies • Competitive grants and peer review • Working with NARS and national governments • Mapping, tracking and explaining poverty • State of the art spatial analysis methods • Impact assessment for NARS, national governments, the CGIAR and donors • Support for resource allocation for international development community
METHODS • Compare these poverty indicators: • Poverty intensity according to the unsatisfied basic need method • Human development index (literacy, life expectancy and per capita GDP) • Household consumption from small area estimation
Published studies • Web page with reports, maps and information on poverty mapping (www.povertymap.net) • Digital geographic information from case studies available through global spatial data clearinghouses • Poverty mapping conference held in August 2004 in conjunction with 2004 ESRI User Conference • Special issue of the journal Food Policy and edited book volume forthcoming in 2005
Agrobiodiversity and poverty • Wild relatives and land races conservation as environmental services • There could be a move to more fruits and vegetables: diet diversification • Conservation to prevent famines due to pests and diseases; diversity as insurance
