The Multidimensional Poverty Index of Palestine was launched in June 2020. The report was prepared by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and the National Team for Poverty Combating with support from OPHI. The source of data is the 2016/17 Palestinian Consumption and Expenditure Survey (PECS).
