The objective of the Antananarivo Urban Poverty and Resilience Study is to identify policy actions that have a high potential to improve the quality of life and increase the resilience of the poor in Antananarivo and to inform the national government and municipal authorities on how to better target and finance poverty reduction programmes.
The survey will hope to meet these objectives by:
i. Collecting data to allow for poverty and vulnerability analysis in order to better understand the spatial distribution of poverty in Antananarivo;
ii. Collecting data to allow for the analysis of the availability of infrastructure, access to basic services, as well as the incidence of natural hazards; and
iii. Collecting data to allow for the analysis of the ability of the poor to protect against risk and cope with disasters.
