KUCHING: A multidimensional poverty index (MPI) tailored to Sarawak's context is vital for accurate poverty assessment and targeted interventions, says the Sarawak Development Institute (SDI).
As a first step towards developing the MPI, SDI conducted a pilot study in partnership with the Society for Kuching Urban Poor (SKUP) to identify Sarawak-specific poverty indicators and provide granular data on urban poverty.
