SPRI Global was happy to support UNICEF Zambia, the Ministry of National Development Planning, and the Central Statistical Office in launching the first child poverty study in Zambia using a multidimensional approach, and and now publishing its report. The study is based on UNICEF’s Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA) approach, and its conclusive findings are based on the unique analysis of deprivations among individual children (not on household data). This analysis considers the nature of child deprivations at different life stages allowing for a precise measurement of deprivations of children in poverty.
