Abstract

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es el de examinar la consistencia de los resultados de una metodología participativa para evaluar la pobreza con las medidas de pobreza de carácter objetivo y con lo esperado para dos cuencas en Colombia, de acuerdo con sus características. Los resultados obtenidos permiten determinar que existe un conjunto de elementos básicos que son considerados tanto por las medidas de pobreza de carácter objetivo como por las de carácter participativo, pero que a su vez hay otros que dependen de las preferencias de los hogares. Además, muestran cómo, a partir de las percepciones locales, el concepto de pobreza adquiere un carácter diferente para cada lugar de acuerdo con su contexto: un hogar puede ser considerado como pobre en un lugar mientras en otro puede no serlo. Los resultados de la metodología participativa son útiles para identificar quiénes son pobres en las comunidades y por qué. Así mismo, permiten tener una mejor comprensión del fenómeno y dinámica de la pobreza; sin embargo, estos resultados no se pueden generalizar, ya que pueden diferir tanto en contenido como en magnitud con las medidas objetivas de pobreza
