Synopsis

This new report provides an up-to-date ""big picture"" on poverty and equity in the region. This is ecessary as the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, interacting with subsequent global shocks, have compounded pre-existing challenges faced by the region, even as climate change and conflict pose systemic risks to poverty reduction.
