This paper discusses the use and the results of the Lived Poverty Index (LPI) in the Afrobarometer survey from 1999 to 2006. It examines the link between poverty and democracy, the advantages and downsides of the LPI as well as validity and reliability aspects of the survey. The author finds that lived poverty is very strongly related to country level measures of political freedom.
