The report provides district‑level poverty estimates for Pakistan by combining PSLM and HIES 2004–05 data and applying small area estimation methods. Separate consumption functions for urban and rural areas are used to predict poverty incidence across provinces and districts. The results offer a granular view of regional disparities often hidden in national averages, providing policymakers with evidence to design targeted interventions and allocate resources more effectively to reduce poverty at the local level.
