Using change rankings to understand poverty dynamics: Examining the impact of CFPR/TUP from community perspective

Studies of poverty dynamics relying solely on household income-expenditure surveys can yield noisy results, overestimating transient poverty and underestimating persistence of poverty, especially among the poorest. In this study, we make use of an approach that relies on community-based change ranki...
