Citizen PROSPERITY INDEX
Most indicators and metrics are decided by experts in government, universities or business, and assumed to be relevant to communities everywhere. IGP’s Citizen Prosperity Index is different. Based on extensive research carried out by citizen social scientists and involving people living and working in east London neighbourhoods, the Citizen Prosperity Index measures what local people say matters to their prosperity and quality of life.
The Citizen Prosperity Index reports on five domains and 14 sub-domains of prosperity. It is a new way of bringing local priorities to decision-making; it is a method that has been piloted in east London and has been adopted in other areas of London, in Lebanon, Kenya and Tanzania.
The Citizen Prosperity Index has been developed to help decision makers and communities to understand what prosperity means and identify strategies for local investment and action.
