9th High-Level Annual Meeting of the MPPN underway in Uzbekistan

The 2024 High-Level Annual Meeting of the Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network (MPPN) began this morning in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.  

The Annual Meeting is kindly hosted by the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan through the Center for Economic Research and Reforms (CERR) under the Administration of the President and is supported by UNDP Uzbekistan.   

This three-day event marks the 10th Anniversary of the launch of the MPPN – a growing global community of 63 countries and 20 organizations providing south-south dialogue, capacity building and access to a repository of experiences and lessons learned about measuring multidimensional poverty. 

Director of the MPPN, Gonzalo Hernández Licona, said in anticipation ‘We are greatly looking forward to connecting with key high-level policy actors at the 2024 High-Level Annual Meeting of the MPPN. Here we meet old friends and make new friends and ponder together how to address steep challenges and support each other to forge lasting change’. 

‘The MPPN meetings bring together a committed community of decision-makers and senior officials thinking deeply about how to turn a corner on poverty. In trying times, the importance of these spaces for inspiration and precise knowledge exchange cannot be overestimated’ said Sabina Alkire, Director of OPHI, which serves as Secretariat of the MPPN. 

Previous Annual Meetings of the MPPN have been held in Oxford, Berlin, Cartagena, Acapulco, Beijing, Joahannesburg and Mahé.
