Multidimensional Poverty Index
MPI values for the lower-middle income OIC Member Countries are in the range of 0.004
(Jordan) – 0.307 (Cote d’Ivore).19 In the lower-middle income group, half of these countries have
an MPI value that is two-times or more higher than the highest MPI value in the upper-middle
income group. Indeed, the MPI values of more than half of the lower-middle income countries
are above 0.073 which is the highest MPI value of the upper-middle income group .
In this group, the share of population live in multidimensional poverty ranges between 1.2
percent (Jordan) and 59,3 percent (Cote d’Ivore). In almost half of the lower-middle income
countries, more than 40 percent of the population is multi-dimensionally poor.
