Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative
OPHI aims to build and advance a more systematic methodological and economic framework for reducing multidimensional poverty, grounded in people’s experiences and values. To advance this human development and capability approach requires fundamental, sustained, multidisciplinary research and effective dissemination of that research.
OPHI draws upon strategies that have deliberately and effectively advanced economic ideas in the past. These strategies include:
- Research coordination
- The establishment of research networks whose agendas span theory and application
- The development of curricula and resources for teaching
- Engagement with the media
- Collaboration with policy actors
- The nurturing of a new generation of scholars and public intellectuals.
