This conference brought together academics, practitioners, and people who have direct experience of poverty as co-researchers to better understand the key dimensions of poverty and their relationships. Participants discussed the  tool that has been developed to better design, implement and assess policies, trainings or projects that aim to address poverty with the active participation and inclusion of people who are experiencing poverty.

The conference drew on  from a multi-year participatory project carried out by the , in collaboration with Oxford University. Their approach combines knowledge from action, academic research, and the life experiences of those who face poverty, to provide new insights about the multidimensional nature of poverty and the IDEEP tool that transforms the findings of this research into action.
