This report aims to map poverty and
inequality in Sudan and would be representative of the 18
states and 131 localities of Sudan. The poverty mapping
technique is based on a small area estimation (SAE)
technique developed by the World Bank to derive estimates of
geographic poverty and inequality. It combines data from the
2014-15 National Household Budget and Poverty Survey (NHBPS)
and the 2008 Population and Housing Census data to build
spatially disaggregated poverty maps. Although household
surveys usually include measures of income and wealth, they
are not representative beyond the state level. Yet, allowing
lower levels of disaggregation is important for policy
interventions, particularly for countries like Sudan that
have state governments, which manage the activities of the
state while reporting to the federal government. This study
uses a model of household expenditure from a survey data set
to estimate household welfare at the lower levels and apply
it to the census data set which does not provide information
on household income or expenditure. These maps illustrate
the information gains provided by SAE, show there is a
substantial spatial heterogeneity within the localities, and
highlight the small areas most likely to exhibit the highest
risk of poverty. |
