Testing new and better ways to measure extreme poverty, drawing on innovations in collecting and analysing data to support governments and decision makers in more effectively targeting their investments. - What drives extreme poverty?
Investigating the patterns of extreme poverty that are emerging, those that are persisting and the drivers of these patterns, to help inform how we tackle extreme poverty today. - How can we end extreme poverty?
