Measuring trends in poverty Poverty reduction is a main objective of Tanzanian
Government policy. In the last decade it has placed considerable emphasis
on equitable and sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction and
improvement of basic social services. So the 2000/01 HBS focuses its analysis on national
and regional indicators for poverty monitoring. They include household consumption, income poverty and a range
of non-consumption measures, including those of the priority sectors of
education, health and water. These enable it to: 1. Provide a set of baseline measures
for the future, tracking progress resulting from the
Government’s poverty reduction policies 2.
Assess trends
over the 1990s. Comparisons with the 1991/92 HBS offer
information about changes in poverty over the last decade and the effect
of policies pursued. |
