The Bristol Poverty Institute (BPI) is dedicated to multi-disciplinary research on the causes, effects, and measurement of poverty around the world to inform effective policy and practice. The BPI was established in response to the United Nations’ call for Universities to play their part in helping to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals. Drawing on the legacy and experience of the University’s Townsend Centre for International Poverty Research, we provide essential research and data to governments, NGOs, and private sector bodies striving to reduce poverty in the UK and internationally.
