To evaluate pro-poor growth policy we assessed the applicability of several poverty measurement methods. We selected and applied the methods for evaluating transport infrastructure development in Indonesia during the transition period of governance reforms and decentralization. We used mobility as non-income poverty indicators in 1995, 2000 and 2005 to rank level of compliance with pro-poor growth policy. Surprisingly, we found that each method produced different ranking. In general, during the transition period from 1996 to 2005, the transport infrastructure development in Indonesia was comply with pro-poor growth policy. However, from 2000 to 2005 the growth become anti-poor. We conclude that individual measurement method is insufficient to evaluate pro-poor growth policy. Therefore, a robust and comprehensive measurement tool is needed. The tool will enable us to maintain the appropriate distribution of development benefit to the poor and the rich.
