Poverty Analysis to achieve SDGs 1 and 2

“Poverty Analysis to achieve SDGs 1 and 2” is a self-paced online course offered by the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG), co-authored and co-sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). This course focuses on broadening understanding and strengthening capacity in the use of rural poverty analysis. It covers the multiple and inter-sectoral elements and processes that are vital to consider to adequately support policy and programme design and implementation in sub-Saharan African countries towards eradicating poverty and hunger and reaching SDGs 1 and 2.

It is a self-paced standalone version adapted from the instructor-paced online course offered as part of the capacity development programme on “Strengthening the use of Poverty Analysis to achieve SDGs 1 and 2”, held in Ghana and Zambia in 2019 and organised by the FAO’s Regional Office for Africa. The self-paced version is not part of said programme. The course is intended especially for those who are government policymakers, heads or technicians from development departments/programmes, technical experts and practitioners from or focusing on sub-Saharan countries, but anyone is welcome to take it.
