To help intensify the development aspirations of an inclusively and self-reliant nation, Malawi has launched the second Multidimensional Poverty Index (M-MPI) Report, which provides comprehensive measurements and crucial insights into the specific areas in which poverty persists in the country.

Addressing poverty in all its forms and dimensions is critical to achieving sustainable development in the region without leaving anyone behind.

The Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network (MPPN), the Republic of Panama, and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) co-hosted a high-level in person side-event at the 78th United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday 20 September convening world leaders and policymakers to discuss the topic ‘Leveraging the Multidimensional Poverty Index to Advance Interlinked SDGs’.
