In this second CDP Issue Brief, Sabina Alkire discusses the potential of data to catalyze poverty eradication and explains the importance of multidimensional poverty measures alongside monetary measures. She makes five pragmatic recommendations for the Second World Summit on Social Development (WSSD2) that would empower actors, improve the cost-effectiveness of interventions and make progress visible.
In the first number of the new CDP Issue Brief Series, Carlos Lopes looks at the challenges confronting global trade in 2025. The current trade landscape presents an increasingly complex and uncertain picture. A succession of shocks over the past 15 years has profoundly altered global trade dynamics, exposing vulnerabilities in supply chains, shifted policy priorities, and fueling geopolitical frictions. Addressing these challenges requires coordinated policy responses and a renewed commitment to multilateral cooperation to ensure inclusive economic growth.
