While poverty has a variety of interpretations around the world, almost everyone experiences some aspect of poverty at some point in their lives. Our sponsor, Poverty Stoplight, partners with organizations around the world to reduce poverty through the use of deprivation indicator surveys, which are used to help families progress out of poverty. Our project analyzed a subset of these partner organizations in relation to the Poverty Stoplight survey to determine which resources and processes partner organizations have that help families move out of poverty more efficiently. We provided recommendations based on this analysis to help improve efficiency between Poverty Stoplight and their partner organizations.
