Poverty A Global Pandemic
Eradicating poverty means expanding the richness of human life, rather than simply the richness of the economy in which human beings live.

Poverty entails more than the lack of income and productive resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and other essential services, social discrimination and exclusion, and the lack of participation in decision-making. Various social groups bear a disproportionate burden of poverty.
