Résumé
Ce document porte sur la déficience méthodologique notée actuellement dans la mesure de la pauvreté. Ceci découle, d’une part, du caractère multidimensionnel de la pauvreté, et d’autre part, de l’utilisation comme norme de la mesure de la pauvreté basée sur revenu/ consommation. La mesure courante de la pauvreté basée sur le revenu ne présente que partiellement l’état de la pauvreté prise globalement. Le panier de la consommation a été considéré par les thèses économiques comme l’élément qui représente tous les aspects de la pauvreté, même ce ceux avec une valeur non-monétaire. Le document parle de ce dilemme en adoptant une approche participative basée sur la communauté où les opinions subjectives des populations servent à définir et à catégoriser les pauvres, contrairement à l’approche basée sur le seuil de la pauvreté. Une telle catégorisation était basée sur la supposée situation de bien-être et ce qui favorise/empêche le bien-être. A cet effet, une étude a été menée pour mesurer la pauvreté de façon quantitative. D’aucuns pensent que cette combinaison d’approches participative, qualitative et quantitative permet de s’assurer du sens de la responsabilité institutionnelle en terme de pertinence du ciblage du programme ainsi que de la vulgarisation et de la mesure de la performance au fil du temps. Cette approche pourrait également aider à approfondir les méthodes participatives de mesure de la pauvreté utilisées en ce moment et qui ne se limitent qu’à définir et à identifier les causes et effets de la pauvreté, et à proposer des solutions.
