| Summary: | This poverty assessment analyzes recent
trends in monetary and nonmonetary aspects ofpoverty and
economic vulnerability in the Republic of Congo (ROC), based
on two nationallyrepresentative and broadly comparable
household expenditure surveys conducted bythe National
Institute of Statistics (NIS) in 2005 and 2011. The study
determines the drivers ofpoverty reduction by systematically
looking at demographic, labor, and human capital
dimensions.The report also discusses cross-cutting issues
relevant for poverty reduction, such as servicedelivery,
marginalization of autochthons, and others. This study aims
to provide policy makerswith the knowledge needed to improve
the effectiveness of their programs to reduce and
finallyeradicate extreme poverty in the Republic of Congo. |
