We've said before on the podcast that "Uhuru wa Palestina ni uhuru wetu"—that when Palestine is free, we are all free—because the occupation of Palestine is the "heart of the beast," it is imperialism at its baldest, it is a colony that in 2025 has yet to exercise its right to self-determination. In this episode, we want to not only explain the history of the long war in the DRC but, more importantly, how this is true of Congo too. There is a reason Pan-Africanists have called DRC the "heart of Africa," why—as some sources claim—Kwame Nkrumah proposed the capital of the United States of Africa to be located in Kinshasa. It is not simply because Congo is in the geographical center of the continent. It is because, from the First Industrial Revolution to the Fourth, Congo—which contains half of Africa's water resources, half of Africa's forest cover, and enough arable land to feed half of Africa—reveals the darkest face of colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism. And a free Congo reveals a horizon for African self-determination and self-sufficiency that we've yet to reach.Today, we are speaking to Nteranya Ginga. Nteranya Ginga has a research background in rehabilitation, reconciliation, and reintegration of former child soldiers in post-conflict communities using creative participatory mediums such as dance and film. As Content Director for #CongoExcellence, he worked on educational content for Congolese youth to nurture their potential to contribute to the development of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Nteranya has been the implementation support lead for the SOS Children's Villages (CV) Ombuds implementation project for West, Central, East, and Southern Africa regions.  He has also worked with the research centre Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, Kenya Scholar's Access Programme (KenSAP), Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS), and immigration law company, Rivero Law LLC. Recommendations mentioned: "Dancing in the Glory of Monsters" by Jason K.

La reducción de la pobreza a gran escala  es posible y revela nuevos perfiles de pobreza, según el nuevo Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional (MPI). Gabriel Boyke, Oficial Nacional del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) explicó en el programa En Contexto que este análisis mira más allá del ingreso y busca comprender cómo las personas experimentan la pobreza.Y es que en la vida diaria las personas tienen limitaciones al acceso de la educación, salud, vivienda, agua potable, saneamiento y electricidad.Según Boyke, la medición de los 1,200 millones de personas que hoy aparecen en pobreza multidimensional en el mundo, es casi el doble de la cantidad de personas que aparecen si solo se hace la medición por temas de ingresos.Esto significa que las personas están viviendo carencias y privaciones más allá del tema del ingreso que les impide llevar adelante una vida plena con bienestar y calidad.No obstante, en la medida en que los países puedan dar el salto para intervenir de manera diferenciada cuando se trata de generar mayor ingreso en el hogar y en las familias las necesidades asociadas a educación estén cubiertas y puedan aportar al desarrollo humano de las poblaciones, por ende, estarían fuera de la pobreza.No solamente es no contar con el ingreso suficiente, se trata de una medición que indica que más allá del umbral de pobreza por ingresos basado en 1.90 dólares diarios, también se debe analizar una serie de indicadores que hablan sobre dónde están las privaciones y cuál es la intensidad en donde se presentan en los países en vías de desarrollo.Antes del impacto de la pandemia, 72 países habían reducido significativamente la pobreza. El informe de (PNUD) y la Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) de la Universidad de Oxford, anticipa que es probable que muchos de los esfuerzos por erradicar la pobreza se hayan frustrado con las crisis múltiples que se enfrentan en la actualidad.Gabriel Boyke, indicó que la pobreza y las crisis económicas son las principales causas de las grandes olas de migración en el mundo. Sin embargo, se reconoce cómo estas poblaciones están impactadas por temas que van más allá de la capacidad o no de generar ingresos, entre ellos, la falta de acceso a una buena educación, entre otros problemas.La entrevista con Gabriel Boyke, Oficial Nacional del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD), se dio en el programa En Contexto.

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Live simply so that others may simply live.” In this podcast, we hear from an economist who believes there is more to poverty reduction than just money. Sabina Alkire began her long career helping the poor doing volunteer work alongside the likes of Mother Teresa- then studying theology before turning to economics. Today, Alkire heads the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and is one of the creators of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), which the United Nations uses to identify and help the most vulnerable people in the world. Journalist, Rhoda Metcalfe spoke with Sabina Alkire to discuss her work for our special series on extraordinary Women in Economics. Transcript: https://bit.ly/3bWv56W

In episode 05-Introducing Multidimensional poverty Fabian Schmidl and Miriam El Agha talk about the multidimensional poverty index and the progress of countries, which have managed to reduce multidimensional poverty. The hosts address the following questions: When are households considered to be multidimensionally poor? Is there a threshold? What impact does Covid-19 have on multidimensional poverty?

Peace is a goal that all societies strive for. However, its meaning varies in different contexts, depending on societal values and settings. To dissect the various dimensions of peace, our host Mr. Axel M. Addy, former Minister of Commerce and Industry and Chief Negotiator for WTO accession of Liberia, interviewed Mr. Steve Killelea, Founder and Executive Chairman of the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) and Ms. Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI). Drawing from their respective works on the Global Peace Index and the Multidimensional Poverty Index, Steve and Sabina explain that peace is more than just the absence of conflict. It is also about the availability of structures, institutions and attitudes that can foster resilience. This understanding of peace provides avenues for addressing the various dimensions of fragility, including through poverty reduction strategies.

This podcast goes to the very roots and heart of Business Fights Poverty – we are going to deeply examine poverty. What it is, where it occurs, to whom, why and what we can do about it. Global exert and leading thinker Sabina Alkire who directs the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford - shares her lifelong research into poverty. During our conversation Sabina explains how measuring multidimensional poverty can incorporate different dimensions, or aspects of poverty, to create measures tailored to each context. With colleagues at OPHI this has been applied and implemented empirically to produce a Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). Sabina shares how the world has experienced poverty over the past years, where this is changing, including some rays of hope that we can build from. In addition Sabina shares deeply practical ways to use this data and successfully address poverty.

Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2020 was released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative (OPHI). 1.3 billion people are still living in multidimensional poverty. More than 80% are deprived in at least five of the ten indicators used to measure health, education and living standards in the global MPI. India lifted as many as 270 million people out of multidimensional poverty between 2005-06 and 2015-16. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rahul182/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rahul182/support

Many countries were on track to half multidimensional poverty by 2030, but Covid-19 may lead to a reversal of trends. More data is urgently needed to understand how the pandemic will impact people’s lives and how multidimensional poverty will evolve. In this special episode, Sabina Alkire highlights findings of the 2020 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) and reflects on measurement of multidimensional poverty. Sabina is director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford.

Dr Sabina Alkire is the director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), an economic research centre within the Oxford Department of International Development. She is a professor in International Affairs at the George Washington University and is a fellow of the Human Development and Capability Association. With fellow economist James Foster, she developed the Alkire-Foster Method, which measures multidimensional poverty by considering a range of deprivations associated with poverty which are aggregated to reflect societal poverty. In the seven years since its adaptation the multidimensional poverty indicator (MPI) has been adopted the United Nations Development Programme and several national governments, notably that of Bhutan. In this lucid interview, Sabina outlines the MPI and stresses that effective measurements are crucial to the eradication of poverty. She describes the benefits of using a multidimensional approach which considers deprivations associated with poverty, such as lack of access to adequate education, healthcare and employment. While the MPI compliments conventional measures, Sabina emphasises how it is more sensitive to immediate gains, such as improvements in education enrolment rates, which monetary measures are slow to account for. Furthermore, the MPI demonstrates that solving poverty requires multifaceted strategies and collaboration; a growing global trend that is perhaps epitomised by the SDGs. Sabina also discusses the practical implementation of the MPI and provides some positive insights into the Gross National Happiness index of Bhutan. Finally, she finishes by describing the future of the MPI, particularly efforts around child poverty measures. The post Episode 37: Interview with Sabina Alkire, director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI: how to effectively measure poverty using the  multidimensional poverty indicator (MPI) appeared first on The Sustainability Agenda.

Dr. Sabina Alkire provides a brief overview of OPHI's work on multidimensional poverty and the missing dimensions of poverty.

Dr Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) gives a talk for the Oxford Alumni Weekend 2013. What does 'being poor' really mean? The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index, or MPI, is an international measure of acute poverty covering more than 100 developing countries. Assessing poverty at the individual level, it complements traditional income-based poverty measures by capturing the severe deprivations that each person faces at the same time with regard to education, health and living standards. It also reveals how poverty is falling: whether there is a smaller number of people experiencing poverty, or whether the share of deprivations faced by poor people has dropped. Join Sabina Alkire to hear how the method that underlies the index, developed at Oxford University, is being applied by governments.
