I heard the pretty concerning projection that the pandemic is likely to set back global poverty levels by 30 years.

Not enough of us pay attention to the steady progress we’ve made against global poverty in the past few decades, and while too much of it persists, I’ve found the trajectory to be pretty encouraging. But are we at risk of losing that?
I decided to dig into some of the projections to create this slider for @plantwpurpose this week- there are reasons to be concerned, especially for the most vulnerable, but there are a lot of things we’ve learned to help keep a robust recovery within reach.

Thankful to be part of the team that has spent nearly 40 years fighting global poverty in such a sustainable, community-led fashion. Imagine if the number of people living in poverty in your area dropped by 2/3rds? That’s what we’ve seen in places like Haiti, the Congo, and Tanzania.
Did Global Poverty reset by 30 years?
