This report has been underpinned by a phased process. In 2005, an initial concept note
was discussed in 2005, in anticipation of the Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey
and Participatory Poverty Assessment. Over the period 2005 through 2008, technical
support was provided to the Kenyan National Bureau of Statistics, from DFID, USAID ,
GTZ as well as the World Bank and others. This included training on poverty
measurement and different types of analysis. The actual analysis underpinning the KPIA
began in March 2008, following the release of KIHBS data to the World Bank.
