The global Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network (MPPN) is a South-South initiative that supports policymakers to develop multidimensional poverty measures.
It promotes the use of such measures for more effective poverty eradication efforts at the global, national and local levels.
“Beyond being an official poverty statistic and improving our understanding of poverty, the Multidimensional Poverty Index is an instrument for enhancing governance, by acting as a policy coordination tool, helping to improve national information systems, and fostering accountability of governments.”
“I am a firm believer that it is in our duty to lead ambitious social changes within our countries. Fortunately, the Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network (MPPN) will be the platform to help this happen. The sole idea of applying this tool [the AF method] in more countries is inspiring”
“I regard the MPPN as something really special. Within a short period, close and strong cooperation has developed between countries. And the network is growing. It is doing pioneering work and is a good example of what global partnership should be”
