This report presents the levels and composition of the multidimensional poverty of Angola’s 164 municipalities, using data from the General Population and Housing Census (2014 Census). The report assesses the challenges that each municipality faces in relation to its development process, through a broad conception of poverty aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, this effort contributes to the fulfillment of SDG 1.2.2 which promotes poverty reduction in all its forms and dimensions.
According to the report, sixty-five of the 164 municipalities in Angola’s eighteen provinces have a 90 percent incidence of multidimensional poverty.
