For Nepal, this is the second poverty map produced after a gap of seven years in collaboration with the Central Bureau of statistics, Nepal. This report presents 2010/11 small-area estimates and maps for Nepal at the 75 district, 967 ilaka and 2344 'target area' level, of poverty incidence, poverty gap, and poverty severity. The report also provides maps of the number of poor and their average consumption.

The present report updates the 2006 results for Nepal in three ways. First, it uses the recently published 2010/11 round of the Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS) and 2011 population census in order to produce an updated description of the spatial patterns of poverty. Second, it incorporates new methodological refinements aimed at improving modeling of the standard error. Third, in an effort to improve practical usability of the results, estimates are produced at the sub-ilaka or Village Development Committees (VDC) level - where possible-instead of sticking with the ilaka level that was used in 2006. 2014-01-10T23:02:20Z 2014-01-10T23:02:20Z 2013-04 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2013/04/17917187/nepal-small-area-estimation-poverty-2011 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/16569 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Poverty Study Economic & Sector Work South Asia Nepal
