This project leveraged novel ‘non-traditional’ data for mapping and monitoring multidimensional poverty in informal urban settings, while taking into account and reflecting context-specific nuances. It was carried out in partnership with and build on the work of the Brazilian NGO Gerando Falcões (GF), and focuses on 2 Brazilian favelas—Morro da Providência in Rio de Janeiro and Favela dos Sonhos in São Paulo. Concretely, we sought to evaluate and estimate different proxies from a subset of dimensions of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI+) developed by GF using survey data. These proxy estimates enable to map and monitor multidimensional poverty patterns and trends at fine grained levels of spatial and temporal granularity, and possibly at lower costs. The project yielded indicators and methodologies that could be expanded to other dimensions of the index, as well as other Brazilian favelas, and possibly other countries.
