Poverty and Vulnerability Assessment (PVA) questionnaire dataset of Myanmar

Updated Date: 9/8/2020 2:39:50 PM

The Poverty and Vulnerability Assessment (PVA) dataset was developed to capture the micro-level perspective of people's experiences with poverty and vulnerability and to monitor poverty and vulnerability trends on the ground. The assessment was based on a standardized questionnaire that has been developed to assess, describe, and analyse the situation of poor and vulnerable people in the HKH region. This will lead to an enhanced understanding of multiple aspects of livelihood assets, structures, and the processes that underpin such assets. It will also help determine levels of access, terms of exchange, and returns from livelihood assets as well as livelihood strategies and their outcomes for the poor.

Purpose The PVA will be utilized to build an extensive mountain-specific database. The generation of primary data helps to fill in gaps and gather information on a number of mountain-specific indicators that hold institutional relevance and are often missing from available datasets, providing a one-of-a-kind monitoring system to capture evolving socioeconomic realities on the ground.
