The Minister said as we work to eradicate hunger and poverty by 2030, the MPI survey will provide support for the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, disaster management, and social development as it collaborates with different government agencies, donor organizations, and private investors to shape policies and drive real impact in some of the following ways:

1. The use of MPI data to foster government accountability to citizens through improved multi-sectoral interventions targeted at the root of deprivations.

2. Close collaboration with the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) to conduct regular multidimensional poverty measurements alongside monetary measures at national and sub-national levels, understand our true poverty status, and use these findings to shape policy and programming.

3. In partnership with private sector actors and using the special purpose vehicle of Social Investments, create a National and State poverty map/tracker, to provide a vivid representation of progress towards our poverty reduction goal.
