The Progress out of Poverty Index™ (PPI™) for Morocco is an easy-to-use, objective client poverty assessment tool. It estimates the likelihood that a participant has income below the national poverty 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. With 90-percent confidence, estimates of groups’ overall poverty rates are accurate to within +/–1.6 percentage points. The PPI can help programs target services, track changes in poverty over time, and report on poverty rates.

Indicators in the PPI were derived from the 5,129 households surveyed in the 1998/99 National Household Living Standard Survey (ENNVM). This is the best, most recent household survey available with income or expenditure data. The latest version of the PPI for Morocco was created in March of 2007.
