The Multidimensional Poverty Index in emergency and fragile contexts

In this meeting, Yeshwas Bogale (Economist, ESA) and Sophie Scharlin-Pettee (Research and Policy Manager, OPHI). He will present two recent studies to show how the Multidimensional Poverty Index can be adapted to measure poverty and guide interventions in emergency and fragile contexts, with a particular focus on intra-household inequalities. Then, Rebecca Pietrelli (Emergency and Rehabilitation Officer, ESA-OER) will discuss how this and other analytical tools can be integrated into FAO’s emergency programmes to increase their effectiveness.
