The lack of poverty data at local administrative levels has hindered effective poverty reduction policy planning. The Lao Expenditure and Consumption Survey (LECS), a national representative survey, is a primary source of poverty data in the Lao PDR. Based on the LECS sampling methodology, poverty rates can be estimated at national, regional, and provincial levels. This report updates district-level poverty maps for Laos using the small area estimation (SAE) technique and the most recent Lao Expenditure and Consumption Survey 2018–2019 (LECS 6) and the Population and Housing Census 2015 (PHC 4). On the one hand, LECS collects detailed information on household expenditures required for estimating monetary poverty but limits poverty estimation below the provincial level. On the other hand, PHC collects data from every household but does not include household expenditures as this data is generally too costly and time consuming to include. The SAE technique combines two sources of data and produces monetary poverty indicators at the district level. This report presents the SAE results as well as poverty estimates and poverty maps at district level. The three key findings are: i) there is a large variation in poverty rates across districts within the same province; ii) poverty is high in districts located in mountainous areas bordering Vietnam and low in districts located on the Mekong River plain and areas bordering China; and iii) districts with the highest number of poor people are mainly located in Savannakhet, Oudomxay, and Saravan.
