Reducing Multidimensional Poverty and Destitution: Pace and Patterns

Abstract

This brie!ng examines how multidimensional poverty changed in 34 countries covering 2.5 billion people. It documents trends in poverty and destitution across and within these countries, and according to di"erent kinds of deprivation. It provides some rich results which we hope will spark others to look deeper into speci!c country examples, so that together we can provide some insightful stories, identify bottlenecks to progress and fuel realistic hope about what is possible.
