Nurul Izzah Anwar, SERI Chairperson recently spoke at World Economic Forum 2024 regarding the use of the global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) that helps policymakers to better understand the real needs of low-income households. As the global community navigates technological and economic shifts, people must be put front and center. Reskilling, advancing women's employment, leveraging AI responsibly, addressing climate-related health challenges, promoting adolescent mental well-being, and accelerating drug discovery through AI are among the determining factors that currently need innovative approaches for a better Malaysia. #AMNC24
