SAGA Research Proposal:

1.3 Methods

Our bottom-up strategy to the research under this Cooperative Agreement implies a focus on individuals, households, or communities and the socioeconomic, natural, and institutional environments that condition their behavior and their welfare. Most of the topics that we are likely to pursue are of interest to researchers in many different fields, using a variety of methods. While we cannot lay out all of the possibilities here, three broad approaches will characterize our methodological choices: innovative mixing of quantitative and qualitative methods; use of new methods that address the multidimensional nature of poverty; and use of new methods to explore poverty dynamics and vulnerability. Each of these three approaches extends the traditional approach to poverty analysis in an important way.
