Highlights

The EICV7 MODA Thematic Report (2023/24) provides critical insights into the
multidimensional poverty affecting children in Rwanda. While significant progress has
been achieved since 2016/17, with multidimensional child poverty nearly halved for
those aged 5–14 and reduced by a third among adolescents aged 15–17, overlapping
deprivations remain a major challenge.
