Updated on 12/09/2024 - By InM - No Comments

The Bangladesh Poverty Watch Report 2024 represents the third edition in a series of reports
jointly published by the Institute for Inclusive Finance and Development (InM) and the Center
for Inclusive Development Dialogue (CIDD). This report is dedicated to amplifying the voices of
marginalised groups, particularly the extremely poor and climate-vulnerable populations,
ensuring their concerns are not only heard but also reflected in policy-making.
The report investigates the intricate link between poverty and climate change, exploring how
environmental challenges exacerbate the hardships faced by vulnerable communities. It provides
an in-depth analysis of the impacts of various climate-related events, including extreme
temperatures, droughts, cyclones, flash floods, riverbank erosion, salinity intrusion, and rising
sea levels, on these at-risk populations.
Furthermore, the Poverty Watch Report 2024 measures a Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)
specifically tailored to different regions and populations of the study areas. This index goes
beyond traditional income-based measures by capturing diverse dimensions of poverty and
deprivations, such as health, education and living standards, offering a more comprehensive
understanding of the issue.
Through this exploration, the report highlights emerging policy priorities and the significant
challenges faced by those living in poverty due to climate change in Bangladesh. It underscores
the urgent need to address the intertwined issues of climate change and poverty, emphasizing the
importance of targeted interventions to support the most vulnerable communities in the country.


The Institute for Inclusive Finance and Development (InM) is registered as an independent non-profit institution under the Societies Registration Act 1860.
The Institute works for developing the overall capacity of the financial sector and strengthening the links between the financial and real sectors through undertaking research, training, education, knowledge management and other programmes in priority areas including inclusive finance, microfinance, poverty and development.
