Poverty Maps
National Poverty Map 2008

The Peace and Equity Foundation (PEF) has objectives to popularize the use of development and poverty indicators with simple color-coded charts and maps based on statistical data for easy reference and understanding. The simple color-coded ranking is meant to help development institutions and individuals appreciate patterns of statistical observations on development and poverty situations in the country. Hopefully, the map may also help in targeting priority areas and sectors for development work at the municipal level. The purpose of the ranking is to get to the bottom, or worse-off, 20 percent (approximate) municipalities in terms of each indicator.

Performance of each indicator is expressed as a value between 0 and 1 by applying the following general formula:

The National PEF Development Index is PEF’s ranking of provinces and is simply the average (equal weight) of index values of the following: (Except the Province of Sarangani which does not have data on Indicator no. 7)
