Engaging conversation today during the @WorldBank’s #Africa Inspirational Breakfast Series, where we presented the @WBG_Poverty Poverty and Shared Prosperity Report.
Ending #poverty will require increased efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa, where 60% of the global extreme poor live.
ALT Global extreme poor are concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa.

There is a clear crisis in development — poverty is going up & median incomes are going down.
Read my foreword from the @WorldBank’s new 2022 Poverty & Shared Prosperity Report (PSPR) here: wrld.bg/rfOR50L2kiQ
Today the @WorldBank published its latest Poverty and Shared Prosperity Report. The global goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030 is likely to be missed: by then, about 600 million people will remain in abject poverty. A major course correction is needed. worldbank.org/en/publication…

What happened to global inequality in 2020?
In a just-released paper (documents.worldbank.org/en/p…) with Daniel G. Mahler, @ChristophLakner, and I look at what happened to global inequality and poverty due to the COVID pandemic in 2020.
Three things to note:

Shocks related to the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine mean the world is unlikely to meet a longstanding goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030, the World Bank said in a new report reut.rs/3V6uscE

New GLOBAL POVERTY projections from the World Bank are officially out today:
- 9.3% global poverty in 2020, up from 8.4% in 2019, meaning 70m new poor.
- Poverty reduction likely stalling again in 2022.

Politics matters - but good sense of what is going on as well. Not least in Nigeria where poverty is high but hard to ascertain trends.
I like this attempt, finding poverty is sticky, inversely following of oil prices, so up since 2016.

Mentre attendiamo l'insediamento di #Draghi, oggi vede alla luce il progettino su cui ho lavorato per quattro anni. Un dataset di poco meno di 5mila righe che racconta la storia dei governi italiani da De Gasperi fino a Conte lab24.ilsole24ore.com/govern…
In attesa del governo #Draghi, conosciamo meglio quelli passati: qual è stato, per esempio, il più giovane? E il più vecchio?
Ecco il dataset di tutti i ministri dell'Italia repubblicana, nato della collaborazione tra @sole24ore e @PagellaPolitica

Within Nigeria, the distribution of monetary and multidimensional poverty is spatially unequal, so poverty reduction strategies need to be carefully targeted. blogs.worldbank.org/opendata… via @worldbank
Great work by @jonathanwlain&@TaraVishwanath
Conflict, climate shocks, and COVID-19 need to be carefully considered to successfully reduce poverty in Nigeria, mirroring similar challenges to global poverty reduction in the coming decade. worldbank.org/en/publication…
