The Progress out of Poverty Index® (PPI®) for Jordan is an easy-to-use, objective client poverty assessment tool. It estimates the likelihood that a participant has income below the National Poverty Line, 150% of National Poverty Line, 200% of National Poverty Line, 250% of National Poverty Line, USAID "Extreme" Poverty Line, $1.25/day/2005 PPP, $2.50/day/2005 PPP, $3.75/day/2005 PPP, and $5.00/day/2005 PPP.

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 2006 HIES conducted by Jordan's Department of Statistics. This is the best, most recent household survey available with income or expenditure data. This most recent version of the PPI for Jordan was created by Microfinance Risk Management, L.L.C. in February 2011.
