Poverty measurement has been a standard practice for decades, but true eradication requires families to actively participate as agents of change in their own poverty elimination strategies.
Families complete the self-assessment survey, which helps them not only to become aware of their situation, but also to visualize the opportunity to change their reality.
The Stoplight aims to grow and strengthen each family across 6 dimensions including: Income and Employment, Organization and Participation, Housing and Infrastructure, Health and Environment, Education and Culture, and Interiority and Motivation.
Out of all indicators marked red or yellow, families select the ones they want to improve first. An integrated intervention helps families reflect on possible causes for these reds and yellows as a basis to design their own poverty elimination strategy.
By actively implementing strategies to improve their situations, families remain the central agents of change.
We, as a local government, empower and follow-up families to be the owner of their lives.
