The document discusses using a "stoplight" tool to measure and address poverty in communities. The stoplight allows families to conduct self-assessments across different dimensions of poverty and set goals. It uses technology to collect and map data on indicators like income, water access, and skills. The tool creates a baseline and families are rewarded as they accomplish actions to improve their scores on prosperity indicators over 9 months. The goal is to incentivize behaviors that lift people out of poverty by addressing its root causes.
