Tariq Omar Ali, Mehnaz Rabbani and Munshi Sulaiman share their experiences of refining a participatory method to investigate poverty dynamics of the extreme poor in Bangladesh following programme interventions. Although some changes were apparent, the families did not move up or down in the wealth ranks defined by the community. So the authors refined the method, resulting in valuable insights about the perceptions of change and mobility of the extreme poor.
