      Solution

      Explanation: Developed by UNDP and Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative, MPI captures deprivations in multiple areas such as nutrition, child mortality, years of schooling, sanitation, and housing. It identifies who is poor and how they are poor, making it more policy-relevant than income-based headcount ratios.
