Abstract

This paper describes and reviews the process of constructing a Multidimensional Child Poverty Measure in three sub-Saharan Africa countries: Mali, Malawi, and Tanzania. These countries recently (in 2015 and 2014) constructed such indicator using UNICEF's Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA) methodology and conducted a comprehensive Child Poverty study including both deprivation and monetary poverty. This work describes how the indicator was adapted in the different contexts, discussing critical issues arisen during the process of the study, and it discusses the results of these studies in comparison. The goal is to offer an overview of the different national processes and how similar or different factors influence the results.
