Introduction

This paper details the specific procedures utilized to develop the income proxy method for
the USIAD/Kenya mission, reports on the performance of the method, and brings together in
one place each part of the package needed to implement the method. The next section
provides general background on income proxy methods; section III reports briefly on the
Tegemeo/MSU Tampa full income survey that formed the basis for development of the proxy
method; section IV provides details on model development, including definition of income
components, the types of proxy variables tested, and the performance of the models; section
V assesses model performance, and section VI touches on how the models can be used. A
companion document (Developing Income Proxy Models for Use by Title II-funded NGOs in

for the modeling effort undertaken with NGOs.
