Equity of Public Resource Use

This sub-sub-indicator assesses how public expenditures and revenue collection patterns are translated into national poverty reduction strategies. The first component deals with the availability of quality poverty measurement tools and their usage in poverty reduction policies. The second deals with the proper identification of vulnerable groups and the existence of a strategy to address their needs. Finally, the third component deals with the progressiveness of public expenditure and its alignment with poverty reduction goals. All three indicators have the same weight to estimate the total score for the criterion.
