Multidimensional Poverty Index Report
January 13, 2025
The Multidimensional Poverty Index Report, developed by the Somalia National Bureau of Statistics (SNBS) and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA) in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford, introduces a new way to measure poverty beyond monetary factors. By adopting a multidimensional approach, Somalia joins over 45 countries globally in enhancing the analysis and measurement of poverty to inform holistic, inclusive policies and programs.
