Abstract
This article analyses the multidimensional aspect of rural poverty in Kewetdistrict, Ethiopia using the Alkire Foster method of multidimensional povertyanalysis and Logit model. We collected primary data from 245 householdsselected through stratified and proportional random sampling procedures.Findings reveal that the poverty headcount is 0. 812 whereas the intensity andmultidimensional poverty index stand at 0.50 and 0.41, respectively. Findingsforther indicate that the greatest contribution to multidimensional poverty comesfrom deprivation in years if schooling (21. 8%) followed by deprivation in childenrollment (11. 3%) and child mortality (1 0. 5%). Thus policies aimed at targetingpoverty should consider its multidimensionality.Key words: Multidimensional poverty, deprivation, MPL Ethiopia
