The Progress out of Poverty Index™ (PPI™) for Brazil is an easy-to-use, objective client poverty assessment tool. It estimates the likelihood that a participant has income below the Half-minimum-wage Line, Quarter-minimum-wage Line, One-minimum-wage Line, Two-minimum-wage Line, USAID "Extreme" Poverty Line, $1.25/Day/2005 PPP line, $2.50/Day/2005 PPP line, $3.75/Day/2005 PPP line, and $5.00/Day/2005 PPI Line.

Indicators in the PPI are based on data from Brail's 2008 National Household Survey(Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicilios, PNAD). This is the best, most recent household survey available with income or expenditure data. The latest version of the PPI for Brazil was created in March 2010.
