Multi-dimensional poverty Aside from assessing the level of income, we also investigate the more general standard of living in the cocoa communities as poverty in its complexity is the root cause of the major issues in cocoa. Tony’s Open Chain builds upon the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI). The aim is to measure the non-income-based dimensions of poverty, to provide a more comprehensive assessment of the extent of poverty and deprivation. Deprivations and the lack of opportunity are assessed in three thematic areas and ten indicators that are weighted equally: health (child mortality, nutrition), education (years of schooling, enrolment), and living standards (water, sanitation, electricity, cooking fuel, floor, assets). Underlying these areas are ten indicators to zoom in on the conditions of rural livelihoods. This detailed assessment allows for a better understanding that goes beyond who is living in poverty, but also looks at the how and why – making it a comprehensive measure for non-income poverty.
