Poverty Stoplight is a civic and social organization that provides a metric and accompanying methodology to help families assess their level of poverty and develop personalized strategies to overcome deprivations. The framework defines what it means to not be poor across six dimensions: Income & Employment, Health & Environment, Housing & Infrastructure, Education & Culture, Organization & Participation, and Interiority & Motivation. It targets families and communities experiencing poverty, offering a structured way to quantify needs and plan tailored actions. Based in Asunción, Paraguay, the organization operates with a small to mid-sized team within the civic and social sector. In 2019 it partnered with Grab for a pilot in Indonesia, reflecting its collaborative approach to applying the Poverty Stoplight framework.
