The brief explores how multidimensional poverty is unevenly concentrated in LDCs (by age, rural/urban areas, and subnational disparities). It illuminates very strong positive and pro-poor trends in poverty reduction in the vast majority of LDCs, as well as unfortunate increases in poverty or in the number of poor persons over time in some cases. This brief therefore shows that progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 1.2 is possible, highlighting how six LDCs have halved their global MPI value in under fifteen years. This brief concludes that reporting MPI figures, whether global or national, in Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) and the global SDG database, provides LDCs with an important opportunity to monitor progress and demonstrate how sustained efforts are leading to meaningful reductions in alleviating the multidimensional deprivations of the world’s poorest populations.
