The Progress out of Poverty Index® (PPI®) for Honduras is an easy-to-use, objective client poverty assessment tool. It estimates the likelihood that a participant has income below the National Poverty line, Food Poverty Line, USAID "Extreme" Poverty line, $1.25/day 2005 PPP line, $2.50/day 2005 PPP line, and $3.75/day 2005 PPP line. The PPI uses 10 simple indicators that field workers can quickly collect and verify. Scores can be computed by hand on paper in real time. The PPI can help programs target services, track changes in poverty over time, and report on poverty rates.

Indicators in the PPI are based on the September 2007 EPHPM conduced by Honduras' Instituto Nacional de Estadistica (INE). This is the best, most recent household survey available with income or expenditure data. The latest version of the PPI for Honduras was created in May 2010.
