Community-Level Multidimensional Poverty in Armenia. Shirak, Lori Tavush
This report builds upon primary research conducted by the Caucasus Research Resource Center (CRRC)-Armenia Foundation. The study examines multidimensional poverty and COVID-19 vulnerability at the community-level in the three northern Armenian marzes of Lori, Shirak, and Tavush, known to be the most impoverished marzes in the country (Armstat and World Bank 2019). Specifically, this research was conducted through a household survey among 2406 respondents that measured the incidence and severity of multidimensional poverty impacting community residents. It is based on work developed by Sabina Alkire and James Foster at the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) to create multidimensional poverty index. Santos and Alkire (2011).
