In November 2024, the National Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Moldova published the first analytical report for the National Multidimensional Poverty Index. The MPI includes four dimensions and 11 indicators, with the results calculated using 2022 data from the national Household Budget Survey.

OPHI and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) provided technical support. Several line ministries including the State Chancellery, the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development, the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and Research, the Ministry of Energy and other national partners contributed to the development of the methodology, as well as to the study of the possible application of the MPI in public policies.
