New Egypt PPI!
Visit the Egypt page and download the Egypt PPI toolkit!
The Progress out of Poverty Index™ (PPI™) for Egypt is an easy-to-use,
objective client poverty assessment tool. It estimates the likelihood
that a participant has income below the Upper National Poverty Line,
Lower 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.
Indicators in the PPI are based on data from Egypt’s 2004/5 Household
Income, Expenditure, and Consumption Survey (HIECS). This is the best,
most recent household survey available with income or expenditure data.
The latest version of the PPI for Egypt was created in April 2010.
