"Nepal and India made rapid progress towards reducing multidimensional poverty
in the years before the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, a new global report on
multidimensional poverty says.
In 2011, 39 percent of Nepalis were multidimensionally poor and the percentage
dipped to 25.7 in 2016 and 17.5 in 2019, according to the report. “It means
5.13 million Nepalis are multidimensionally poor based on Nepal’s total
population of 29,192,480 as per the census 2021,” said Dharma Swarnakar, policy
advisor at the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), Nepal at a press
briefing on Monday.
The report,
Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2022, was prepared by the
UNDP in coordination with the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative
and was released on Monday.
The report has lauded the improvement Nepal made in the area of sanitation
which led to sharp reduction in multidimensional poverty.
“This progress has been accompanied by notable improvements in sanitation,
which saw the largest reduction in the percentage of people deprived in this
indicator—from 60.6 percent in 2011 to 35.9 percent in 2016 and 21.4 percent in
2019, among the whole population, according to the report."
