ESCWA, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and the League of Arab States are partnering to organize a regional workshop for public officials on the use of national multidimensional poverty indices (MPIs) for policy development and poverty reduction strategies.
The workshop has the following objectives:
- Introducing the concept of multidimensional poverty (including national MPIs) and inequality in the Arab region
- Facilitating South-South learning, with global policymakers sharing knowledge with Arab leaders
- Providing hands-on experience in using the ESCWA Multidimensional-Poverty Assist Tool platform and optimization tool
- Exchanging knowledge on best practices in using national MPIs as a tool for poverty reduction strategies, for informing social policies and national reform, and for monitoring and planning purposes.
