Mexico
The Progress out of Poverty Index® (PPI®) for Mexico is an easy-to-use, objective client poverty assessment tool. It estimates the likelihood that a participant has income below the National Food Poverty Line, National Capacity Line, National Asset Line, 125% of National Asset Line, 150% of National Asset Line, USAID "Extreme" Poverty Line, $1.25/Day/2005 PPP line, and $2.50/Day/ 2005.
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.
The PPI is based on data from the 29,403 households surveyed in the 2008 Encuesta Nacional de Ingresos y Gastos de Hogares (ENIGH). This is the best, most recent household survey available with income or expenditure data. The latest version of the PPI for Mexico was created in August of 2009 and then revised in November of 2009.
