| Summary≠ | A Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey is a structured, representative survey that measures what a target population knows about a topic, how it feels and believes about it, and what it actually does. Widely used in public health, water-sanitation-hygiene (WASH), family planning, and nutrition programming, KAP surveys provide the baseline and endline evidence for behaviour-change communication, identifying the gaps between knowledge and practice that interventions are meant to close. | A Participatory Poverty Assessment (PPA) is an instrument for understanding poverty from the perspective of poor people themselves, using participatory methods to elicit their own definitions, experiences, and priorities rather than imposing externally fixed indicators. Pioneered by the World Bank in the 1990s and made famous by the multi-country 'Voices of the Poor' study, the PPA combines participatory rural appraisal tools with a deliberate concern to influence policy, complementing rather than replacing the quantitative household surveys on which official poverty measurement rests. |
