Poverty Targeting

ABSTRACT This study was undertaken to assess the poverty in monetary as well as non-monetary indicators in India. For this purpose, Alkire-Foster methodology has been used on the consumption expenditure data. Findings of the study revealed that incidence of poverty was the highest in the source of cooking fuel (68 percent) followed by deprivation in calorie intake (62 percent), ownership of land (53 percent) and education (53 percent) dimensions. Consolidated index of poverty, revealed that 34 percent of the Indian population was suffering from the multidimensional poverty and they were experiencing around 63 percent of the average number of deprivations. STs, SCs and labour households were in the most pitiable situation. Among three sectors of the economy, the majority of the poor population belongs to the primary and secondary sectors particularly those employed in construction, agriculture, forestry and fishing and mining and quarrying. Further, human capital, ownership of land and health dimension observed to be the major contributors to the incidence of multidimensional poverty. Targeting mechanism suggests that marginalised groups have a greater potency to reduce poverty at a higher rate.

Communication Disability

Functional approaches to disability measurement in Zambia reveals an overall disability prevalence rate of 13.4%, 4% of whom are recorded as having “speech impairment” (Zambia Federation of the Disabled [ZAFOD], 2006). Further, multidimensional poverty assessments indicate that 48.6% of Zambia's approximately 16 million citizens are impoverished. Currently, there are three internationally qualified speech-language pathologists (SLPs) providing services within Zambia's capital city, Lusaka. Given these statistics, it follows that a significant number of Zambian's, experiencing communication disability, are unable to access specialist assessment and support. Over the past decade, Zambia has seen two very different approaches to address this service gap—firstly, a larger scale top-down approach through the implementation of a formal master's degree program and more recently a smaller scale, bottom-up approach, building the capacity of existing professionals working in the field of communication disability. This article provides an overview of both programs and the context, unique to Zambia, in which they have developed. Authors describe the implementation challenges encountered and program successes leading to a discussion of the weakness and merits to both programs, in an attempt to draw lessons from which future efforts to support communication disability and SLP service development in Majority World contexts may benefit.
