In 2025, nearly 11.7 percent of the world population in extreme poverty, with the poverty threshold at 2.15 U.S. dollars a day, lived in Nigeria. Moreover, the Democratic Republic of the Congo accounted for around 11.7 percent of the global population in extreme poverty. Other African nations with a large poor population were Tanzania, Mozambique, and Madagascar. Poverty levels remain high despite the forecast decline Poverty is a widespread issue across Africa. Around 429 million people on the continent were living below the extreme poverty line of 2.15 U.S. dollars a day in 2024. Since the continent had approximately 1.4 billion inhabitants, roughly a third of Africa’s population was in extreme poverty that year. Mozambique, Malawi, Central African Republic, and Niger had Africa’s highest extreme poverty rates based on the 2.15 U.S. dollars per day extreme poverty indicator (updated from 1.90 U.S. dollars in September 2022). Although the levels of poverty on the continent are forecast to decrease in the coming years, Africa will remain the poorest region compared to the rest of the world. Prevalence of poverty and malnutrition across Africa Multiple factors are linked to increased poverty. Regions with critical situations of employment, education, health, nutrition, war, and conflict usually have larger poor populations. Consequently, poverty tends to be more prevalent in least-developed and developing countries worldwide. For similar reasons, rural households also face higher poverty levels. In 2024, the extreme poverty rate in Africa stood at around 45 percent among the rural population, compared to seven percent in urban areas. Together with poverty, malnutrition is also widespread in Africa. Limited access to food leads to low health conditions, increasing the poverty risk. At the same time, poverty can determine inadequate nutrition. Almost 38.3 percent of the global undernourished population lived in Africa in 2022.

FOCUSONLONDON2011:POVERTY:THEHIDDENCITY One of the defining features of London is that it is a city of contrasts. Although it is considered one of the richest cities in the world, over a million Londoners are living in relative poverty, even before the additional costs of living in the capital are considered. This edition of Focus on London, authored by Rachel Leeser, presents a detailed analysis of poverty in London that reveals the scale and distribution of poverty in the capital. CHARTS: The motion chart shows the relationship between child poverty and worklessness at borough level, and shows how these two measures have changed since 2006. It reveals a significant reduction in workless households in Hackney (down 12 per cent), and to a lesser extent in Brent (down 7 per cent). The bar chart shows child poverty rates and the change in child poverty since 2006. It reveals that while Tower Hamlets has the highest rate of child poverty, it also has one of the fastest falling rates (down 12 per cent), though Haringey had the biggest fall (15 per cent). DATA: All the data contained within the Poverty: The Hidden City report as well as the data used to create the charts and maps can be accessed in the spreadsheet. FACTS: Some interesting facts from the data… ● Highest proportion of children in workless households, by borough, 2010 Westminster – 35.6% Barking and Dagenham – 33.6% Lewisham – 33.1% Newham – 31.4% Islington – 30.6% -31. Barnet – 9.1% -32. Richmond upon Thames – 7.0% ● Changes in proportions of workless households, 2006-09, by borough Hackney – down 12.3% Brent – down 7.3% Tower Hamlets – down 4.8% Lambeth – down 4.2% Hillingdon – down 4.1% -31. Enfield – up 5.8% -32.

Bexley – up 6.0% -32. Havering – up 10.3%

Chad is among the poorest countries in the world. Around 55 percent of the population lives below the poverty line and about 36 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty. The opportunity to reduce widespread poverty provided by the dramatic increase in revenues has been, however, mostly missed to date. Chad's first National Poverty Reduction Strategy (NPRS - I) was adopted in June 2003, aiming towards a 50 percent cut in poverty by 2015. The objective of this report is to examine to what extent oil revenues have been used to achieve stated government priorities. It will examine the particular challenges that Chad faces in the management and use of its oil revenues, and provide suggestions on how oil resources might be better leveraged to achieve the country's development goals.

This study provides data from the World Bank's PovcalNet on the distribution of household income and consumption across populations for 942 country-years, organized in dta and csv files by region. Each distribution contains 10,000 data points, one for each 0.01 incremental increase in percent of people living in households at or below a given income or consumption level. In addition, a data set containing the estimated parameters of the Beta and General Quadratic Lorenz curves is provided. For reference, we also provide the Python scripts used to query the PovcalNet online tool and export data from the Mongo database used to store results of these queries, along with all do files used to clean and construct the final data sets and summary statistics.

The Poverty Mapping Project: Global Subnational Prevalence of Child Malnutrition data set consists of estimates of the percentage of children with weight-for-age z-scores that are more than two standard deviations below the median of the NCHS/CDC/WHO International Reference Population. Data are reported for the most recent year with subnational information available at the time of development. The data products include a shapefile (vector data) of percentage rates, grids (raster data) of rates (per thousand in order to preserve precision in integer format), the number of children under five (the rate denominator), and the number of underweight children under five (the rate numerator), and a tabular data set of the same and associated data. This data set is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN). To provide a global subnational map of the prevalence of underweight children that can be used by a wide user community in interdisciplinary studies of health, poverty and the environment.
