Leaving No One Behind: Briefs on Regional Multidimensional Poverty Index

Leaving No One Behind: Briefs on Regional Multidimensional Poverty Index

December 8, 2022

The four regional briefs co-published by UNDP and OPHI analyze multidimensional poverty trends and patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America and the Carribean, using microdata from the 2021 global MPI database. As country data allows, the briefs also probe into disparities across subregions and age groups.  An additional brief explores the main ways in which countries have approached and reported on multidimensional poverty under Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs).
