GS-25 Learning Workshop
Beyond Measurement: Deepening Multidimensional Poverty Insights for Policy & Programmatic Action
Measuring What Matters – From Data to Transformation
This workshop will be hosted on Day Zero of GS-25 (September 2, 2025)
This on-site workshop continues the momentum of GS24’s poverty learning series. It moves from understanding Multidimensional Poverty (MPI) to applying it for inclusive development.
Participants will learn:
- How to analyze MPI through an intersectional lens (gender, age, disability)
- How to use data storytelling, participatory diagnostics, and local policy co-creation
- How the Graduation Approach can move poverty reduction from theory to action
From Metrics to Impact
63% of Nigerians are multidimensionally poor—this session addresses root causes
Most MPI tools remain elite-focused—this workshop makes them accessible
Focus on grassroots participation, policy impact, and inclusive planning
Aligns with Nigeria’s inclusive development and gender-equity strategies
