Using Simple Cross-country Comparisons to Guide Measurement: Poverty in the CFA Franc Zone

In order to inform discussions on the extent of poverty in a country, it is often useful to compare the country’s poverty measures to estimates obtained in other countries with similar levels of development within the same region of the world.
