OPHI Executive Education

Publicado el: May 17th, 2021 Por MPPN

OPHI ExEd builds upon OPHI’s trajectory as a global referent in multidimensional measurements, and the rich experience of a growing network of global champions committed to poverty reduction, to inspire today’s leaders while also equipping them with the practical knowledge and resources to implement integrated strategies that consider the multiple and interconnected dimensions that affect people’s lives.

 

Leaders Programme: Using the MPI as a policy tool

August 23 – 27, 2021, from 13:30 to 16:30 BST | Online. 

 

“To turn a corner on poverty, commitments at the highest levels are essential.” 

Sabina Alkire, Director of OPHI & Juan Manuel Santos, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Former President of Colombia – Project Syndicate, July 29, 2020 

 

This inaugural OPHI Executive Education Programme focuses on providing senior government officials and high-level policymakers with practical knowledge and direct access to the world’s leading experts on multidimensional poverty reduction, to deepen their understanding of the MPI as a policy tool and many of its potential uses, as well as their driving strategies.

Through 15 hours of interactive lectures, workshops, conversations with global leaders, and practitioners’ panels, the 5-day programme will leverage open discussions and high-level networking with fellow policy makers from around the world. Discussions will be guided by practical cases that require analysis and presenting solutions to real-world problems. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet with leading experts during office hours outside the programme schedule to discuss topics of mutual interest.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Confidently interpret and communicate MPI results

Editorial – Dimensions 9

Publicado el: May 12th, 2020 Por MPPN

Analysing multidimensional poverty is all the more relevant in the complex context in which we are currently living due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As Maya Evans and Fanni Kovesdi point out in the first article of this issue, this new coronavirus will affect the poorest of the poor most dramatically. We join the authors in inviting you to share ideas and projects to address this new scenario. Also in this issue, a group of researchers, led by Sabina Alkire, show us where those most vulnerable to the pandemic are and how the MPI can help deliver a more targeted response.

In Angola, a recently launched Multidimensional Poverty Index by Municipality (M-MPI) will provide better information for targeting resources to the poorest districts. Camilo Ceita and Henrik Fredborg Larsen provide us with some insights into this new tool, while Eliana Quintas and Lorenzo Mancini describe how it was created.

Colombia also published a municipal-level multidimensional poverty measure using a series of maps with indicator descriptions. You can find more information in the ‘Data of the Month’ section.

Another important innovation is the measurement of multidimensional poverty in indigenous populations. In this issue, Eleonora Nun shows us the case of Mexico, which has again been a pioneer in measuring poverty – this time in order to obtain information to design more effective public policies that seek to reduce indigenous poverty.

In this issue we also share some conceptual reflections on less-explored aspects of multidimensional poverty, as Diego Zavaleta highlights the importance of considering shame and humiliation as two relevant elements for understanding people’s poverty.

We would like to invite you to read Dimensions, a new perspective for understanding poverty.
