On August 27 in Tashkent, the 9th Annual Meeting of the Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network (MPPN) commenced. This event brings together global leaders, policymakers, economists, and experts from 63 countries and over 20 international organizations to deliberate on key issues in the fight against poverty. Over the course of this three-day forum, participants will have the opportunity to exchange insights on national experiences and international best practices in poverty alleviation.

The Center for Economic Research and Reforms (CERR) and the Agency for Mahallabay Work and Entrepreneurship Development, with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Uzbekistan and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), are the organizers of this international forum.

The selection of Uzbekistan as the host country underscores the international community’s recognition of the significance of the ongoing reforms aimed at a profound understanding and measurement of multidimensional poverty for more effective combat. It also opens new horizons for the exchange of experiences.

Ravshan Gulyamov, Advisor to the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Economic Development, read out the Address of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to the participants of the 9th Meeting of the Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network.

The Address emphasized that improving the living conditions of every citizen, increasing the volume and quality of education and healthcare services in the New Uzbekistan, is the primary focus of current reforms. An investment of about $2.5 billion in enhancing kindergartens, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure in mahallas serves as a strong indicator of this commitment.

The President underscored the importance of strengthening social protection for the population, particularly in low-income families. To this end, the National Agency for Social Protection and “Inson” centers have been established, reaching over 2.3 million families, a fourfold increase compared to 2017. Notably, the lives of 3 million people in the country have improved over the past three years, while the poverty rate has decreased from 17% to 11%.

In closing the Address, confidence was expressed that the expert dialogue within the framework of this Forum would be fruitful, and the practical proposals and recommendations developed as a result would mark a new step in reducing global poverty.

The participants of the Meeting were also addressed by the Director of the National Agency for Social Protection, Mansurbek Olloyorov, the Minister of Employment and Poverty Reduction of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Behzod Musayev, Professor of Economics and Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, Sabina Alkire, the UN Resident Coordinator in Uzbekistan, Sabine Machl, the UNDP Resident Representative in Uzbekistan, Akiko Fujii, and the Director of MPPN, Gonzalo Hernandez Licona.

Welcoming the participants, the Director of CERR, Obid Khakimov, noted the importance of combating multidimensional poverty in Uzbekistan and other developing countries.

“Today, we have a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences on such an important topic as multidimensional poverty. We have gathered here to work together on solutions that can change the lives of millions of people around the world,” said the head of CERR.

The event featured presentations by Dr Ali Haidar Ahmad, Minister of Housing, Land and Urban Development in Maldives, by Dr. Liu Juwen, Director General of the International Poverty Reduction Center in China (IPRCC), Ricardo Landero, Vice Minister of Social Development of Panama, R.H.W.A. Kumarasiri, Director General of the Department of National Planning of Sri Lanka, and Areef Suleman, Group Chief Economist, Islamic Development Bank.

During the forum, participants shared experiences and results aimed at improving poverty reduction strategies on a global level. In particular, each presentation enriched the dialogue and provided new tools for work. Important topics were discussed, such as the use of the Multidimensional Poverty Index for national programs, innovations in poverty measurement, and the need for regional cooperation. These discussions deepened understanding and strengthened the bonds of the community striving to improve people’s lives.

On the third day of the forum, a practical field trip to Samarkand is expected, where participants will be able to study the Uzbek experience on the ground, including the “mahallabay” system, which actively operates at the local community level.

For reference: Poverty eradication stands as a leading priority within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Indeed, the very first goal is to end poverty in all its forms everywhere by 2030. A crucial aspect of this process involves identifying the root causes of poverty, assessing their impact, and implementing targeted measures to address them within each country.

To facilitate a more nuanced assessment of poverty within each country, considering its unique characteristics, the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) was introduced in 2010. Developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations Development Programme, this index utilizes indicators related to health, education, and living standards to gauge the prevalence and intensity of poverty experienced by populations.

The MPI has replaced the Human Poverty Index and has already been employed in over 100 developing nations. It is published alongside the Human Development Index (HDI) in the Human Development Report.

With the aim of consolidating efforts and exchanging experiences in the fight against poverty, the Global Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network (MPPN) was established in 2013. This network, comprising 63 countries and over 30 international organizations, assists policymakers in assessing multidimensional poverty to develop more effective measures for its reduction.
