Sanitation Poverty: a multidimensional measure

<p>This file provides the primary data (database file, in *csv) and achieved results (results file, in *csv) published in the paper &quot;Monitoring and&nbsp;Targeting the Sanitation Poor: A Multidimensional Approach&quot;, Natural Resources Forum, 2018 (under review).</p> <p>The paper discusses the adequacy and applicability of one approach that is increasingly adopted for multidimensional poverty measurement at the&nbsp;household level, the Alkire-Foster methodology. Drawing on this method, we identify and combine a set of direct household-related water and&nbsp;sanitation deprivations that a person experiences at the same time. This new multidimensional measure is useful for gaining a better understanding&nbsp;of the context in which WaSH services are delivered. It captures both the incidence and intensity of WaSH poverty, and provides a new tool to support&nbsp;monitoring and reporting, as well as targeting and planning. For illustrative purposes, one small town in Mozambique is selected as the initial case&nbsp;study.<br> &nbsp;</p>
