| description | The objective of this study is to examine the consistency of results of a participatory poverty assessment methodology applied in two Colombian watersheds with those from more objective approaches. The results suggest that there is a set of elements that are considered basic to both types of poverty assessment; however at the same time there are others that depend on household and community preferences. Moreover, the results indicate that the concept of poverty is context-speci? c: a house- hold that is considered poor in one community may not be considered poor in another. The results of the participatory methodology are useful to identify who the poor are, why they are poor, and they provide a better understanding of the nature and dynamics of poverty. However, it may not be appropriate to generalize on the basis of the results of such methodologies since they may differ in both nature and magnitude from the results of objective poverty measures. |

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es el de examinar la consistencia de los resultados de una metodología participativa para evaluar la pobreza con las medidas de pobreza de carácter objetivo y con lo esperado para dos cuencas en Colombia, de acuerdo con sus características. Los resultados obtenidos permiten determinar que existe un conjunto de elementos básicos que son considerados tanto por las medidas de pobreza de carácter objetivo como por las de carácter participativo, pero que a su vez hay otros que dependen de las preferencias de los hogares. Además, muestran cómo, a partir de las percepciones locales, el concepto de pobreza adquiere un carácter diferente para cada lugar de acuerdo con su contexto: un hogar puede ser considerado como pobre en un lugar mientras en otro puede no serlo. Los resultados de la metodología participativa son útiles para identifi car quiénes son pobres en las comunidades y por qué. Así mismo, permiten tener una mejor comprensión del fenómeno y dinámica de la pobreza; sin embargo, estos resultados no se pueden generalizar, ya que pueden diferir tanto en contenido como en magnitud con las medidas objetivas de pobreza.. 2006 2014-09-24T07:58:30Z 2014-09-24T07:58:30Z Journal Article https://hdl.handle.net/10568/42741 en Open Access |
