The main purpose of the presentation is to show the main steps to design and compute the multidimensional poverty index (MPI) for the Republic of Moldova. It shows how the Moldova MPI was conceptualized and constructed using the Household Budget Survey (HBS) collected by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The Moldovan MPI is based on the Alkire-Foster method and provides another powerful tool in NBS efforts to measure poverty and deprivations in the country.
