Correct Answer: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

Solution : The correct answer is (b) United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The MPI is an international measure of poverty that goes beyond income-based measures by considering multiple dimensions of poverty, such as education, health, and living standards. It provides a more comprehensive understanding of poverty by assessing deprivations in various indicators within these dimensions.

The UNDP, in collaboration with the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), develops and publishes the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index on a regular basis. This index is used to track progress in poverty reduction efforts across countries and to inform policies and interventions aimed at addressing multidimensional poverty.
