Title:

Gendered Analysis of the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index

Agreement Number:

7426600 P008993001

Agreement Value:

$500,000.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 31, 2021 - Mar 31, 2023

Description:

The project aims to strengthen the evidence base on how women and girls experience poverty differently than men and boys by conducting a gender-based analysis of the data underpinning the global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). The MPI is a measure of acute multidimensional poverty developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative and included as part of the United Nations Human Development Report since 2010. Project activities include: (1) conducting a gender-based analysis of the MPI indicators where the data permits, specifically, adult nutrition, years of schooling, and child school attendance; (2) publishing data tables and methodological notes from this analysis to equip researchers and national offices of statistics to replicate this methodology in their local contexts; and (3) developing communications materials, including country-specific briefs and presentations, to discuss the findings with national policymakers.

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcome for this project is the increased uptake and use of evidence on the gendered experiences of multidimensional poverty, especially by policymakers in low- and middle-income countries.
