XEA 406: Poverty and Development
Economic Growth Economic growth and economic development are generally not one and the same thing but most people use the terms interchangeably. What is economic growth and how is it different from economic development? Economic growth means increase in per capita income or sustained increase in a country's output of goods and services. Kenya’s Growth Performance Kenya’s economic growth has followed an oscillating pattern since independence in 1963 as shown in Figure 1. In 1964, the economy took an upward trajectory up to 1972 when the growth took a nosedive but started rising again in 1975. Following two decades of stagnation in per capita income and high volatility of economic activity, Kenya’s economy moved to a path of accelerating growth after 2002 when a new government was sworn in. The rate of economic growth increased steadily from below 1percent in 2002 to 7percent in 2007. Following the December 2007 elections, the country was hit by post election violence in January 2008 followed by global financial crisis in 2008/2009 and this negatively impacted the rate of economic growth as shown in Figure 1.

XEA 406-POVERTY AND DEVELOPMENT
Poverty Analysis and Measurement Development deals with the alleviation or the eradication of poverty. Poverty is inter-related to other problems of underdevelopment. In rural and urban communities, poverty can be very different. In urban areas people often have access to health and education but many of the problems caused by poverty are made worse by things like overcrowding, unhygienic conditions, pollution, unsafe houses etc. In rural areas there is often poor access to education, health and many other services but people usually live in healthier and safer environments. Since the alleviation of poverty is the most important aim of development work, we have to understand how to measure poverty. Development means that there has been some improvement and improvements must be measurable.

XEA 406-POVERTY AND DEVELOPMENT
Choosing and Estimating a Poverty Line Once an aggregate income, consumption or non-monetary measure is defined at the household or individual level, the next step is to define one or more poverty lines. What is Poverty Line? Poverty lines are cut-off points separating the poor from the non-poor. They can be monetary (for example a certain level of consumption) or non-monetary (for example a certain level of literacy). The use of multiple lines can help in distinguishing different levels of poverty
