PPI Data Intake Tool
The PPI Data Intake Tool is form based in Microsoft Excel. PPI users must first enter the indicators and response values from their country's PPI scorecard and look-up table as directed. Once the tool is customized for their PPI, they can use the form tab to input PPI survey responses. The PPI Data Intake Tool can be translated into multiple langages using a drop-down menu on the first tab.
Download the PPI Data Intake Tool (Excel, 0.5MB) and the corresponding manual in Spanish and English (PDF, 0.4MB, French coming soon).

The PPI Implementation Cycle
- Design: An organization’s management team designs a plan for PPI administration and analysis within their organization.
- Collect: Staff members collect PPI survey answers from respondents.
- Report: PPI data is reported accurately and with indicators that matter to management.
- Understand: Management achieves a deeper understanding of the lives of survey respondents.
- Decide: Management applies new knowledge and understanding to strategic decision-making.
The PPI should be administered repeatedly at an interval determined by the organization so that management can track client poverty over time. Each time the PPI is administered, the organization will have the chance to fine-tune the process.
