9th MPPN High-Level Annual Meeting – Uzbekistan

We are extremely honoured to announce that the 9th High-Level Annual Meeting of the Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network (MPPN) will take place between 27–29 August in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, hosted by the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan via the Center for Economic Research and Reforms (CERR) under the Administration of the President, with support from UNDP Uzbekistan.

This high-level discussion space seeks to engage countries and international organisations in reflections on how to tackle poverty in all its dimensions and to learn from experiences around the world. Participants will share their perspective and discuss sustainable and effective strategies for fighting multidimensional poverty and achieving the SDGs. It will also be an opportunity to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the network, and its crucial work toward poverty alleviation.

Despite global challenges such as conflict, humanitarian and climate crises, countries and international organisations continue to update, release, and develop MPIs. It is encouraging that, in this time of recovery, new statistics are being released and used in policy to aim for a better future. In this context, the MPPN continues to provide an active place for in-depth learning among participants. An equitable recovery can lay the basis for historical reductions of poverty that will truly be a benefit for the years to come.

In this spirit, the goals of the MPPN 9th Annual Meeting are:

• To provide a space for sharing experiences and lessons learned on multidimensional poverty measurement and reduction;

• To identify future pathways and collaborations between the network participants to tackle the challenges of recovery using better metrics and policies;

• To contribute to the debates and practical actions to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 1 and target 1.2.2 “reduce poverty in all its forms and dimensions”.
