An inclusive growth strategy for the Mid-West and Far-West Regions of Nepal that delivers on poverty, vulnerability, food security and nutritional outcomes

This book length report is based on research commissioned by UKAid (DFID) with the broad remit to define chronic poverty and vulnerability in Nepal. It identifies country-specific indicators to measure multidimensional poverty and compares these with the poverty line (Head count method). It is an extensive very detailed piece of work, which is able to identify, regional, zonal and district level differences in the extent of poverty, as well the depth and severity of poverty. Particular attention is given to the relationship between poverty and undernutrition. In addition a separate 30 page summary was produced which reviews the main findings.
