Poverty and empowerment
Poverty reduction is the heart of all of our work, but poverty is often not correctly measured and assessed, and the methodological challenges of its multidimensionality are not always recognised.
It is crucial to be able to accurately conceptualise and measure the impact of development projects in order to continuously improve them. We provide high-quality expertise in the area of welfare measurement, focusing in particular on issues relating to monetary poverty, inequality and inequity, multi-dimensional poverty, and child poverty. Our expertise ranges from diagnostic work, through policy development and forecast, to impact evaluation and assessment.
