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.

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.
