Development Initiatives, Tracking the progress of the poorest people.
Development Initiatives (2016), The P20: methods for tracking the status of people in the poorest 20%. Background Paper.
The P20 Initiative,
developed by Development Initiatives (DI), is an effort to better understand
the data on people who are at risk of being left behind so that action can be
taken and policies and resources can be better targeted. The P20
approach focuses on a small number of indicators linked to the SDGs to
assess whether the people in the poorest 20% of the population (the P20) are
being included in progress. To leave no one behind, the progress of the P20
needs to be fast enough to narrow the gap between them and everyone else. The
approach highlights the importance of disaggregation by wealth quintile,
gender, geography, age and disability to track the inclusion of different
groups.
