Colombia
The look-up table for the PPI for Colombia has been changed to accommodate new poverty lines set by the Colombian government; the indicators and points of the scorecard have not been changed. This PPI is still based on data from the 2009 Integrated Household Survey conducted by DANE; the scorecard was field-tested when it was originally created. The PPI for Colombia includes the PPI Scorecard and Lookup Table, PPI Sample Size Calculator, PPI Design Documentation, and PPI Interview Guide; all documents are available in both English and Spanish.
Indonesia
The PPI for Indonesia is based on Indonesia's July 2010 National Socio-Economic Survey; it replaces a previous version that is based on 2007 data. Both the scorecard and the look-up table have been updated. This PPI scorecard has been field-tested; thanks to PT Ruma and Komida for conducting field testing during the development process. The PPI for Indonesia includes the PPI Scorecard and Lookup Table, PPI Sample Size Calculator, PPI Design Documentation, and PPI Interview Guide; the PPI Scorecard and Lookup Table and the PPI Interview Guide are available in English and Bahasa, all other documents are available in English only.

About the PPI
The Progress out of Poverty Index (PPI) is a poverty measurement tool for organizations and businesses with a mission to serve the poor. The PPI is statistically-sound, yet simple to use: the answers to 10 questions about a household's characteristics and asset ownership are scored to compute the likelihood that the household is living below the poverty line – or above by only a narrow margin. With the PPI, organizations can identify the clients, customers, or employees who are most likely to be poor or vulnerable to poverty, integrating objective poverty data into their assessments and strategic decision-making.
The PPI is designed by Mark Schreiner of Microfinance Risk Management, L.L.C.
