A multi-country analysis of multidimensional poverty in contexts of forced displacement
Despite the many simultaneous deprivations faced by forcibly displaced communities, such as food inse-curity, inadequate housing, or lack of access to education, there is little research on the level and com-position of multidimensional poverty among them, and how it might differ from that of host c...

| description | Despite the many simultaneous deprivations faced by forcibly displaced communities, such as food inse-curity, inadequate housing, or lack of access to education, there is little research on the level and com-position of multidimensional poverty among them, and how it might differ from that of host communi-ties. Relying on household survey data from selected areas of Ethiopia, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan, this paper proposes a Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) that captures the overlapping deprivations experienced by poor individuals in contexts of displacement. Using the MPI, the paper presents multi-country descriptive analysis to explore the relationships between multidimensional pov-erty, displacement status, and gender of the household head. The results reveal significant differences across displaced and host communities in all countries except Nigeria. In Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Sudan, female-headed households have higher MPIs, while in Somalia, those living in male-headed house- holds are more likely to be identified as multidimensionally poor. Lastly, the paper examines mismatches and overlaps in the identification of the poor by the MPI and the $1.90/ day poverty line, confirming the need for complementary measures when assessing deprivations among people in contexts of displacement. |
