1 Developing Assessment Tools Project Results for 14 Assessment Tool Countries The IRIS Center July 10, 2007 A Brief Note on the Notation and Content of the Tables For ten of the fourteen countries below, the national poverty is used to classify the very poor (with very poor defined as the bottom 50% below the national poverty line). For the remaining four countries Bangladesh, India (Bihar and Uttar Pradesh regions), Madagascar, and Uganda the international poverty line of $1.08 per day (in local purchasing power parity terms) is used in generating the accuracy figures. The type of poverty line used for each country will be noted next to its name and the poverty rate it implies will be listed under the country s name. All results are based on models with controls plus 15 best predictors. In the case of a two-step model, there are 15 best predictors for each of the steps of the procedure. The best model for each country is in bold. Full details on the poverty accuracy criteria, including PIE and BPAC, can be found in the accompanying document, Note on Assessment and Improvement of Tool.
