The Organization of American States (OAS) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) today agreed to join forces to promote the use in the region of the Multidimensional Poverty Index, a technical tool useful for effective monitoring of compliance with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, highlighted that the alliance signed today aims “to promote initiatives for the strengthening of ministries or institutions responsible for developing public policies to combat poverty and inequality in the region.” The Secretary General also announced that, as the first activity resulting from this collaboration, a Regional Workshop for the Measurement of Multidimensional Poverty will be held shortly in Colombia, designed for public servants.
For her part, the Director of the Oxford University Human Development and Poverty Initiative (OPHI), Sabina Alkire, pointed out that to analyze the poverty data it is necessary to go beyond the income index and it is necessary to consider variables such as access to education, nutrition, or sanitation and potable water, among others. "Poor people suffer many deprivations at the same time, such as lack of education or living in an environment of violence. Poverty is also multidimensional," she said.
