Fighting poverty
......
Poverty, from my point of view, is submission to the surrounding circumstances and situations. Coexistence with a poor environment and despair of changing this environment. Poverty of ideas is more dangerous to this world than material poverty. There is an Arabic proverb that says: If poverty were a man, I would kill him. Poverty and the intense need for money. Created by government systems aimed at impoverishing people. So that you can live, enjoy, and enjoy stealing public money. The poor cannot oppose his government. Or to carry out a revolution to change his government. This is the most important cause of poverty in third world countries. Despite the availability of raw materials and manpower. Which can be trained and exploited in investments that benefit the country in which you live. It changes the number of poor people and reduces them. Let the poor turn into a productive person. Thus, he enters the middle class with a fixed salary. Poverty and poor people may exist in developed and rich countries. But for other reasons it is easy to treat. As for the causes of poverty in the Third World or developing countries. These are difficult causes to which governments contribute. With policies that torture its citizens.
According to the United Nations report published on its website.
While pre-pandemic global poverty rates had been cut by more than half since 2000, the COVID-19 pandemic could increase global poverty by up to half a billion people, or 8% of the total population. In April 2020, the United Nations issued a framework for the immediate social and economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic and established the United Nations Pandemic Response and Recovery Fund of the Secretary-General. Before the pandemic, significant progress had been made in alleviating poverty in many countries in East and Southeast Asia, but up to 42 percent of the population in sub-Saharan Africa still lives below the poverty line.

Poverty is more than just a lack of income, resources, or ensuring a sustainable source of livelihood, as its manifestations include hunger, malnutrition, limited access to education and basic services, in addition to social discrimination, exclusion from society, and lack of opportunities to participate in decision-making. In 2015, more than 736 million people lived below the international poverty line, and about 10 percent of the global population (pre-pandemic) were living in extreme poverty and struggling to meet basic needs such as health and education.
and access to water and sanitation. There were 122 women aged 25-34 in poverty for every 100 men of the same age, and more than 160 million children were at risk of continuing to live in extreme poverty by 2030.

Measuring poverty
Studies indicate that significant progress has been made in reducing the level of poverty over the past decades. According to 2015 estimates, 10 percent of the world's population lived on less than US$1.90 per day. This percentage is 16 percent lower than the 2010 statistics and 36 percent lower than it was in 1990. This indicates that eradicating extreme poverty is within our reach. The World Bank set a new goal in April 2013, to end extreme poverty within one decade, to reduce this percentage to less than 3 percent of the world’s population who live on only $1.90 per day by 2030. By measuring poverty levels, we learn about Strategies that limit or limit it with the aim of helping developing countries measure the effectiveness of development programs and direct their development strategy in a rapidly changing economic environment.
Comprehensive global business
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development pledges to leave no one behind and reach everyone. But achieving this ambitious development program requires policies with a vision for sustainable, comprehensive and equitable economic growth, supported by full inclusion in the field of employment, decent work for all, social welfare, declining inequality, increasing productivity and preserving the environment. In the 2030 Agenda, the goal identifies eradicating poverty in all its forms everywhere as the greatest global challenge facing us today and an indispensable requirement for achieving sustainable development.

Furthermore, the Third Decade is expected to support, in an effective and coordinated manner, the internationally agreed development goals related to poverty eradication, including the Sustainable Development Goals.
