| description |
Despite the many simultaneous
deprivations faced by forcibly displaced communities, such
as food insecurity, inadequate housing, or lack of access to
education, there is little research on the level and
composition of multidimensional poverty among them, and how
it might differ from that of host communities. Relying on
household survey data from selected areas of Ethiopia,
Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan, this paper
proposes a Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) that
captures the overlapping deprivations experienced by poor
individuals in contexts of displacement. Using the MPI, the
paper presents multi-country descriptive analysis to explore
the relationships between multidimensional poverty,
displacement status, and gender of the household head. The
results reveal significant differences across displaced and
host communities in all countries except Nigeria. In
Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Sudan, female-headed households
have higher MPIs, while in Somalia, those living in
male-headed households are more likely to be identified as
multidimensionally poor. Lastly, the paper examines
mismatches and overlaps in the identification of the poor by
the MPI and the $1.90/day poverty line, confirming the need
for complementary measures when assessing deprivations among
people in contexts of displacement. |
