“…For several sub-Saharan African countries including Nigeria, poverty reduction has been slow in the early 2000s, with annual reductions in the headcount ratio of barely one percentage point in Nigeria, Ethiopia and Cameroon (Jennings and Oldiges, 2020). This indicates a standstill in terms of poverty eradication during the last decade (Alkire et al, 2020c) World Bank, 2011.…”

We analyse the relationship between multidimensional poverty trends and changing dynamics of conflict in Nigeria in 2008–2018. We take a wide notion of poverty going beyond purely monetary hardships and considering simultaneously experienced non-monetary deprivations. Focusing on poverty experienced by people living in conflict affected areas, post conflict-areas and peaceful areas helps us understand how well-being changes with conflict, and how conflict may alter previous trends of poverty reduction. We pay particular attention to address the changing nature of conflict within zones and across neighbouring states. For this, we compare the poverty–conflict nexus across bordering regions in a spatial regression framework. We find that conflict arises not necessarily in the poorest Nigerian states, but in some of the relatively better-off states. Furthermore, we find that although levels of the Multidimensional Poverty Index decreased between 2008 and 2013, conflict may have played a major role in halting these trends, if not reverting them.

“…[52] applied harmonized intertemporal trends for data from 80 nations and observed that meaningful drop in multidimensional poverty in the form of dispossessing in health, education, and living standards has been obtained. Again, [53,54], and [27] identified meaningful improvement in the multidimensional poverty indicators, as well as continuing drop in multidimensional poverty. Some studies have been conducted in Ghana on multidimensional poverty.…”

This study aims at establishing the trends in multidimensional poverty in Ghana from 2011 to 2020 using intertemporal and counting approach. Alkire and Foster methodology was applied to identify and analyse the data. The study adopted the global multidimensional poverty indicators made up of three dimensions – health, education, and standard of living – and the ten indicators of which equal weights are attached to each dimension, and the same weights for the indicators within each dimension. It was found that Ghana did very well in reducing multidimensional poverty in all the six indicators within the standard of living dimension both in absolute and relative terms. However, the nation increased its multidimensional poverty in education and health dimensions. The Northern region continues to be the poorest region with the lowest reduction in multidimensional poverty in absolute and relative terms. Overall, multidimensional poverty reduced significantly both in absolute and relative terms at the national and regional levels. As compared with Sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana performed better in decreasing multidimensional poverty than the mean of the sub-region in almost all the dimensions and indicators, both in absolute and relative terms. Government should sustain this feat and improve upon it to eliminate poverty in all its forms by 2030 as envisaged by Sustainable Development Goal 1. Government must invest heavily in education and health as well as agriculture and rural development to reduce poverty. Strategy that targets the poorest regions should be implemented to reduce poverty. Keywords: Multidimensional poverty, Headcount poverty, Monetary poverty, Trends, Ghana.

“…The deprivation, made up of ten indicators are placed under three dimensions: health, education and living standards. The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) served as an inspiration for developing the deprivation dimensions and indicators [66], of which five indicators have been fine-tuned to meet the desires of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [53,65]. The indicators are expressed in binary terms taking the values of one (1) if the critical conditions are satisfied, and zero (0) if not satisfied [67].…”
