Thanks to the data sources and properties of the Multidimensional Poverty Index, we are able to disaggregate overall national results by region (state, department, or any political division of a country for which data are representative).

Dimensions Magazine is MPPN’s new communications vehicle to share in a practical, concise and informative way, different countries’ experiences with multidimensional poverty measures.

If the objective of the multidimensional index is to encourage action, then it will not only require a multidimensional design, it will be also necessary to design a solid institutional architecture that supports and legitimizes the process from the index design to implementation.
