The global Multidimensional Poverty Index (global MPI) is an annual international measure of acute multidimensional poverty covering over 100 developing countries. It complements traditional monetary poverty measures by capturing the acute, overlapping deprivations in health, education, and living standards that people in poverty face. OPHI computes the global MPI in partnership with the Human Development Report Office of the United Nations Development Programme.
The 2024 global MPI update and our joint report with UNDP was published on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty 17 October 2024.
