adopting $3.00 per day as the international poverty line to counteract global
inflation.
Global Figures: Approximately 831 million people currently suffer from extreme

Economic Empowerment: Supporting small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs) contributes to creating 70% of new jobs in developing countries.
Social Protection: Expanding health and food safety nets to ensure a dignified life

Eradicating poverty is the key to global stability. True sustainable development
cannot be achieved while one-tenth of the planet’s population lives below the
subsistence level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ams.uokerbala.edu.iq\/wp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/04\/WINWORD_AgUgEqXcUw.jpg\")
