Mixed Methods of Poverty Measurement and Monitoring (click to download powerpoint presentation 200KB )

The training module has two primary objectives. First, to present a conceptual framework which distinguishes between different types of mixed method (Q2) analyses of poverty measurement & monitoring. Second, to situate a number of empirical examples of Q2 approaches within this framework and examine issues raised by each. Core conclusions are that more attention should focus on the differences between approaches which limit the extent of integration and that methodological choice should be driven by the informational requirements of the research exercise.
