In the mid-2000s, poverty measurement in
Colombia was at a standstill. A dated poverty measurement
methodology was clashing with improvements in the national
household survey system. As a result, official poverty rates
showed volatile trends, and a weak communication strategy
produced an unconvincing storyline, which further resulted
in the rapid deterioration of indicator credibility. This
happened during a period of high and sustained growth that
also included a number of poverty reduction interventions,
such as the flagship program familias en accion and the
unidos strategy. The public debate on poverty lost focus and
moved from substantial policy discussions to technical
measurement methods. |
