Presenting the experiences of 12 countries, this volume illustrates a wide range of impacts that poverty maps can have on policy making - from targeting programs and resources, to opening new dialogues on poverty, adjusting existing programs and systems, tailoring programs to local conditions, strengthening accountability, and promoting evidence-based decision making. This publication also outlines the processes whereby these maps were created, adopted, and used, and it extracts lessons for increasing the impact of these poverty maps." ER -
