This document outlines the program for a session on multidimensionality and growth pro-poorness at the 33rd IARIW General Conference. The program is divided into two halves. The first half includes presentations on multidimensional poverty in India, distributional change across non-income dimensions, and looking at pro-poor growth from an agricultural perspective. The second half includes presentations on pro-poorest poverty reduction using counting measures, intertemporal pro-poorness, and explaining spatial and sectoral variations in growth pro-poorness in Nigeria.
