A Handbook for Building National MPIs: Practical Guidance for Ending Poverty
This handbook provides detailed practical guidance on creating a technically rigorous permanent national Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). Jointly developed with UNDP, it aims to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals by offering insights from countries' experiences in designing and computing their national MPIs. Divided into three sections, it covers the goals, technical steps, and practical examples related to building a national MPI to effectively combat poverty.

A Handbook for Building National MPIs M nica Pinilla- Roncancio & Adriana Conconi MPPN July 2019
What is the Handbook? 2-years in the making! Jointly developed with UNDP To be officially launched on 18 July
What is the Handbook? Tool to provide detailed practical guidance for planners, policymakers and statisticians on how to build a technically rigorous permanent national multidimensional poverty index (MPI). It provides hard evidence on how countries have designed and computed their national MPIs to guide policy and to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda.
Purpose of the Handbook To illustrate the process of creating a multidimensional poverty measure, To describe technical and political processes to create sustainable and rigorous measures that are proactively and effectively used in policy to end poverty and, To provide examples based on countries experiences.
The structure 3 self-contained sections and 10 chapters. Section I: Goals for the development of national MPIs (chapter 1); Engaging relevant stakeholders (chapter 2) Communicating a national MPI (chapter 3).
Each section Section II: explores the technical steps in developing a national MPI. The Alkire-Foster method (chapter 4) Designing a national MPI (chapter 5) Sources of information (chapter 6) Building and analysing trial measures (chapter 7) Changes over time analysis (chapter 8) Presenting the national MPI (chapter 9)
Each section Section III: The national MPI as a policy tool
Audience This handbook is primarily intended for: People who are actively engaged in developing national and subnational MPIs, including both technicians and politicians. Statisticians in national statistics offices and other technical offices of government, Policymaker in ministries and agencies, such as ministries of social development, planning and finance. Other interested stakeholders working in think tanks, civil society organizations, and others.
How to use the Handbook? During: The design and technical estimation of a national MPI. The discussion with stakeholders that will inform the MPI s design and plans for using the MPI for policy. It as a technical and a policy resource.
How to disseminate the Handbook? Official launch: during HLPF, joint event with UNDP, OPHI and senior representatives from governments and agencies (i.e. expected users) 18 July. Embargoed version in your packages Translation into Spanish/French. Share with all UNDP local offices.

Local trainings and workshops of poverty? Academia/students? Release individual chapters/shorter versions? (160 pages!)? Release collection of national examples? Ideas welcome!
Next steps New national MPIs analysis of technical aspects behind new measures New policy uses of national MPIs New lessons from institutional & political process (e.g. sustainability after elections) Reporting on the SDGs New tools to support countries on comms strategies
