### Overview and purpose
- Proposes an operationally usable framework for the evaluation of growth inclusiveness — the inclusive growth framework (IGF).
- Allows quantitative assessment of growth inclusiveness based on data on growth, poverty, and inequality.
- Application illustrated with two country cases: Senegal and Djibouti.

### Methodology and data requirements
- Assessment relies on the decomposition of the change in poverty into:
  - growth effect,
  - distribution effect,
  - decile effect.
- Decomposition can be calculated using the Distributive Analysis Stata Package (DASP).
- Main precondition for use of the IGF: availability of at least two household surveys.

### Key findings and capabilities
- The IGF translates growth, poverty, and inequality data into a quantitative measure of inclusiveness.
- The framework isolates how much of poverty change is attributable to overall growth versus changes in income distribution and movement across deciles.
- Demonstrates practicality through country case applications (Senegal and Djibouti).
