Multidimensional poverty measures broaden this view by capturing non-monetary dimensions of well-being, aligning with the UN 2030 Agenda and SDG 1.2.2 on national definitions. Because the SDG framework does not mandate a single global methodology, each government designs its own measure and reports it to the Global SDG database. UNDP, UNICEF, and the World Bank provide this roadmap to guide design and adoption through the rationale, major approaches, step-by-step guidance, and real country examples.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nDisc losure Authorized  \nP O V E R T Y A N D E Q U I T Y  \nEQUITABLE GROWTH, FINANCE & INSTITUTIONS INSIGHT  \nPub lic Disclosure Author ized Public  \nA Roadmap for Countries Measuring Multidimensional Poverty  \nCover [illustration: Nicetoseeya / Shutterstock.com](illustration: Nicetoseeya / Shutterstock.com)  \nABSTRACT  \nTraditional measures of poverty have focused on income or expenditure based on a minimum threshold required to purchase a basket of essential goods and services. However, important aspects of well-being might not be fully captured through monetary measures alone. Multidimensional poverty measures seek to address this shortfall and have been adopted as an official indicator for the United Nations 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as “SDG 1.2.2: Proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions.”A particular feature of SDG Indicator 1.2.2, as opposed to others in the Global SDG Indicator Framework, is that a global methodology is not mandated, and each country is therefore expected to define its own national measure of multidimensional poverty. As custodians for SDG Indicator 1.2.2, governments are responsible for reporting their measure of national multidimensional poverty into the Global SDG Indicator database.  \nAs partner agencies working together to support member states in their custodianship of SDG 1.2.2., UNDP, UNICEF and World Bank have jointly produced this document to offer a roadmap for governments seeking to design and adopt a measure of multidimensional poverty. The roadmap presents the rationale for developing such measures, an overview of the main approaches, and a general guideline for the steps to follow. Through real country examples, the document highlights many possible outcomes of the decision-making process required to adopt a successful measure of multidimensional poverty.  \nCopyright © 2021  \nInternational Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank, UNDP and UNICEF  \nThe findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this work do not necessarily reflect the views of The World Bank, its Board of Executive Directors, or the governments they represent, or those of UNDP or UNICEF.  \nThe World Bank, UNDP and UNICEF do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or currency of the data included in this work and do not assume responsibility for any errors, omissions, or discrepancies in the information, or liability with respect to the use of or failure to use the information, methods, processes, or conclusions set forth.
