Executive Education
To catalyse efforts for poverty reduction, OPHI Executive Education was established in 2021 to train senior policymakers and leaders from all sectors in how to use Multidimensional Poverty Indices (MPIs) and other Alkire-Foster-based measures to reduce poverty. The Leaders Programme shares the rich experience of a growing network of global champions committed to poverty reduction to inspire today’s leaders while also equipping them with practical knowledge and resources to implement high-impact strategies.
