SDG-1 : NO POVERTY
SDG – 1 OVERVIEW
SDG-1, "No Poverty," is a United Nations Sustainable Development
Goal aimed at eradicating extreme poverty and reducing overall
poverty by addressing income inequality, providing social protection,
promoting economic growth, enhancing gender equality, and building
resilience to external shocks, with a target for 2030. Monitoring progress
through data is crucial.
• Two thirds of nations have yet to reduce their national poverty rates.
• There is a significant disparity as only 8% of Children, 7% of vulnerable
people, and 23% of senior people were covered, Social protection failed to
cover the world's most vulnerable population.
• Since 2015, governments across the globe have boosted their spending on
social protection, health care, and education.
Resilience of SDG-1 (No Poverty) is bolstered by habitat
and environment planning, which provides stable living
conditions, economic opportunities, and sustainable
resource management, reducing vulnerability and
supporting poverty eradication.

ASSIGNMENT-1
Lack of Explicit Focus: Many countries lack a clear focus on
measuring, analyzing, and responding to child poverty,
leading to insufficient attention to this critical issue.
SDG Targets : The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) do
include targets for reducing child poverty; however, these
targets might not receive adequate attention in some regions
or nations.
Opportunity for Progress: The SDGs offer an opportunity for
stakeholders to assess progress and identify key milestones
in the context of child poverty reduction.
Renewed Purpose: Revisiting these issues provides a chance
to refresh a united sense of purpose and direction among
stakeholders, encouraging collaborative efforts to address
child poverty effectively.
Key Steps To Achieving Milestone 1
Building A Team Taking Stock Development
National pathway
Building a team: who could
join and how they can be
involved.
Organized team Alley
Explicit Framing Needed:
Child poverty is a crucial issue that necessitates explicit framing to enhance stakeholder understanding and convey
essential arguments effectively .
Importance of National Framing:
Nationally-based arguments are highly valuable, although the process of building these arguments may be time-
consuming.
MILESTONE 1-Building A National Pathway To End Child Poverty
BUILDING AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHY CHILD POVERTY MATTERS

ASSIGNMENT-1
DEVELOPING A NATIONAL PATHWAY -TO REDUCE AND
END CHILD POVERTY
GLOBAL EVIDENCE IMPACT:
Global evidence holds significant power within national contexts,
providing valuable insights and perspectives on child poverty.
SEVEN URGENT REASONS:
Seven compelling reasons highlighting the urgency of addressing child
poverty can be customized to specific national contexts, making them more
relevant and impactful.
• SDGs Emphasize Child Poverty
• Diverse Country Contexts
• Country-Specific Approaches
• Contextual Understanding
• Moving Forward
TAKING STOCK: DOES AN INCREASED NATIONAL FOCUS
ON CHILD POVERTY MAKE SENSE?
DETERMINING THE MILESTONES IN THE MIDDLE-
A milestone is “an action or event marking a significant change or stage of
development”.
Defining milestones of progress helps guide immediate actions and monitor
progress with national stakeholders, ensuring the need for different
strategies is effectively monitored.
A POSSIBLE PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING A NATIONAL
PATHWAY OF PROGRESS
Outlining starting and end points:
Identifying the milestones (activities and indicators):
Revising, learning and flexibility.
Starting point: This will vary by country.
An example might be ‘child poverty not
measured and no analysis of drivers/
causes of child poverty
End point: Halve child
poverty by 2030
according to national
definitions
Examples Of Possible Milestones Or Indicators
1.Social protection Programme designed or adjusted to reduce child poverty.
2.Child poverty routinely measured by government.
3.Evaluation of agricultural Programme included impact on child poverty and
recommendations
4. Chapter on child poverty included in annual progress report on poverty
reduction.
5. Budget process explicitly includes consideration of child poverty .
China aims to lift 70 million people out of poverty by 2020, aligning with the SDGs.
Poverty reduction strategies focus on integrated interventions, addressing multiple
deprivations and disparities, including child poverty, through policy spectrum
measures.
CASE STUDY CHINA
1.Policy makers and stakeholders are committed to eradicating child poverty
2. Local-level Impact -Where poor children live
3. Regional-level Impact- Child poverty action plans
4. National-level Impact -Implementation and monitoring
5. Halve Child Poverty by 2030 Reaching the goals

MILESTONE 2 Measuring child poverty
WHY MEASURE CHILD POVERTY?
Measuring child poverty gives vital information for comprehending the extent of
child poverty in the nation and the difficulties encountered.The metrics can reveal:
 Relationship
 Scale
 Adult-to-Child Comparison
 Geographical Groups
 Evaluate Growth and Decline
 Causes and Elements of Poverty
The measurement of child poverty
serves as the foundation for addressing
more focused policy and programmatic
issues that are required to eradicate
extreme child poverty.
• Of the countries surveyed, 41% did
not have an official or government-
backed method of measuring child
poverty.
• Many low-income nations & many
developed nations also lag behind
in this regard.
Target 1.2 of the SDGs specifically mentioning poverty “in all its
dimensions”, countries are expected to begin measuring the
multidimensional poverty of children.
A = multidimensionally poor; B = monetarily poor but not multidimensionally
poor;
AB = both C= Neither monetary or multidimensionally poor
• Routinely measuring child poverty is
the foundation to understanding,
communicating and ending child
poverty.
• Subsequent milestones look at how
child poverty data can be analyzed and
brought to life.
Surveys for Evaluating
• National Household Surveys
• Demographic and Health Survey
• Living Standards Measurement
Surveys
• Income Distribution database
• Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys
Major Players For Poverty
Measurement
• National Statistics Office
• Ministries of Finance and Planning.
• The World Bank
• UNICEF & UNDP

MILE STONE 4 –REDUCING CHILD POVERTY THROUGH
POLICY AND PROGRAMME CHANGE
A. AN OVERVIEW OF THE PACKAGE OF POLICIES AND
PROGRAMMES THAT CAN REDUCE CHILD POVERTY
The policies and programmes to address child poverty will:
• "Ensure Access to Vital Child Services“
• "Remove Child Financial Barriers"
Policy or programme – or both?
• Policies impact child poverty significantly.
• Programs translate policies into action.
• Context-specific considerations guide focus.
• Policy and programs are interconnected.
Key considerations to address child poverty
• Overarching approaches that can address both multidimensional
and monetary child poverty.
• Approaches to address multidimensional child poverty.
• Approaches to address monetary child poverty.
OVERARCHING APPROACHES THAT CAN ADDRESS BOTH
MULTIDIMENSIONAL AND MONETARY CHILD POVERTY.
key areas that can address both.These include:
Social stigma and discrimination:
Stigma and discrimination hinder economic, civic participation, and
child well-being; addressing them is crucial to alleviate poverty.
Child-sensitive social protection or social welfare systems:
Social protection systems address various child deprivations,
including monetary, through coordinated programs,connecting
children to suitable assistance.
Budget engagement:
Funding and monitoring are crucial for effective program
implementation and child poverty reduction; budget and finance
engagement is vital in all areas.
Inclusion in national policies:
Incorporate child poverty into national development
plans to enhance impact, focusing on target
assessments, policy selection, and program
implementation for effective child poverty reduction.
Pro-poor economic growth:
Pro-poor growth lifts children from poverty by
improving employment, services, and tax revenues.
These strategies work in growing and stagnant
economies, enhancing long-term economic
resilience.
APPROACHES TO ADDRESSING MULTIDIMENSIONAL
CHILD POVERTY
Multidimensional
child poverty
(Children deprived across a number
of dimensions such as health,
education, etc..)
Monetary Child Poverty
(Children living in households
below the poverty line)
ADDRESSING MONETARY CHILD
POVERTY
EXAMPLES OF POLICIES AND
PROGRAMMES TO AVOID POVERTY
• Livelihood support - training,
savings accounts, life skill
training
• Employment support- , job
search support and
supporting connections with
employers.
• Supporting adolescents - in their
transitions to adulthood,
particularly for young people
who may be disadvantaged due
to lack of educational
background or work experience.
• Laws and regulations- minimum
wage law
• Provision of affordable and
quality childcare services
• Preventing child labour

extreme poverty.
• It combines various interventions, including asset
transfer, skills training, and community
mobilization.
• Participants graduate when they achieve economic
and social stability, ensuring food security, income,
savings, and positive behavior changes.
• In 2014, it reached over 53,000 ultra-poor
households, with 88,000 members graduating from
extreme poverty.
• Ongoing aid is provided to vulnerable households
even after graduation.
B.What to focus on: picking the right policies
or programmes to advocate for Tanzania – A policy review as part of
the Global Study
CASE STUDY - TANZANIA
• Global Study on Child Poverty and
Disparities in Tanzania conducted by NBS,
REPOA, and UNICEF.
• Macroeconomic overview revealed non-
pro-poor economic growth and one-third of
the population living below $1 per day.
• Limited local economic linkages in key
growth sectors, and stagnant growth in
agriculture.
• Review of child well-being areas,
highlighting low social protection coverage
and uncoordinated, externally financed
interventions.
• Resulted in the adoption of the Law of the
Child Act to address gaps and disparities in
children's rights.
• Ongoing MODA study to update child
poverty figures for SDG implementation
and national development plan.
• Initial findings: 74% of children experience
multidimensional poverty, 29% live below
the national poverty line.
• Capacity building with government
officials to institutionalize child poverty
measurement and reporting.

ASSIGNMENT-1
MILE STONE 4 –REDUCING CHILD POVERTY
THROUGH POLICY AND PROGRAMME CHANGE
C. MAKING THE CHANGE HAPPEN: KEY POLICY
QUESTIONS AND ANALYTICAL APPROACHES TO
ANSWERING THEM
Questions regarding Challenging the status quo:
• Are the policies and programmes reaching the
poorest children?
• Do the existing programmes/policies have an impact
on child poverty?
• Are the poorest households bearing the cost of the
services?
Questions regarding Projecting the potential impacts
• How much impact will a new programme/
policy have on the child poverty rate?
• What are the macroeconomic impacts of a
major policy change on child poverty?
Questions regarding Financing the future
• What are the costs of creating a new
programme or scaling-up the existing one?
• Is the programme/policy cost effective?
• How can the government finance
the cost?
CASE STUDY - KENYA:BENEFIT INCIDENCEANALYSIS
OF ACCESS TO EDUCATION
A Kenyan study used BIA to
assess the beneficiaries of
education services at different
levels (primary, secondary, and
tertiary). It calculated unit costs
by dividing government
education spending by enrolled
students.
• Unit cost in each quintile calculated by dividing
government education spending by enrolled
students.
• Unit cost multiplied by the number of enrolled
children in each quintile to determine each quintile's
benefit from education budget.
• Spending on primary education favors the bottom
two quintiles due to higher enrollment and net
enrollment rates.
• The poorest quintile receives minimal spending for
secondary and less than 2% for tertiary education
due to low enrollment.
• Analysis recommends increasing secondary
enrollment, particularly among the poor to address
this disparity.
MILE STONE 5 - ACHIEVING THE SDGS:
ENDING EXTREME CHILD POVERTY AND
HALVING IT BY NATIONAL DEFINITIONS
KEY STEPS:
• National commitment to end child poverty.
• Implementing comprehensive intervention
package.
• Monitor, evaluate, and advocate for progress.
