OPHI ExEd builds upon OPHI’s trajectory as a global referent in multidimensional measurements, and the rich experience of a growing network of global champions committed to poverty reduction, to inspire today’s leaders while also equipping them with the practical knowledge and resources to implement integrated strategies that consider the multiple and interconnected dimensions that affect people’s lives.

 

Leaders Programme: Using the MPI as a policy tool

August 23 – 27, 2021, from 13:30 to 16:30 BST | Online. 

 

“To turn a corner on poverty, commitments at the highest levels are essential.” 

Sabina Alkire, Director of OPHI & Juan Manuel Santos, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Former President of Colombia – Project Syndicate, July 29, 2020 

 

This inaugural OPHI Executive Education Programme focuses on providing senior government officials and high-level policymakers with practical knowledge and direct access to the world’s leading experts on multidimensional poverty reduction, to deepen their understanding of the MPI as a policy tool and many of its potential uses, as well as their driving strategies.

Through 15 hours of interactive lectures, workshops, conversations with global leaders, and practitioners’ panels, the 5-day programme will leverage open discussions and high-level networking with fellow policy makers from around the world. Discussions will be guided by practical cases that require analysis and presenting solutions to real-world problems. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet with leading experts during office hours outside the programme schedule to discuss topics of mutual interest.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Confidently interpret and communicate MPI results
