About the project

The Multidimensional Inequality Framework and online Toolkits have been developed as part of a collaboration between academics in the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) at the London School of Economics and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) (Abigail McKnight as the academic lead), and practitioners in Oxfam (led by Alex Prats).

The initial project was funded by the LSE’s International Inequalities Institute’s Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme* and additional funding for the CASE team to build this website and develop a generic set of user guides, was provided by the LSE’s Knowledge Exchange fund.

*The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity (AFSEE) programme, based at the International Inequalities Institute (III) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), is building a catalytic, values-led global community of Fellows who are committed to using collective leadership to work towards social and economic justice for all. Drawing on the insights of academic research, innovative social-change strategies and the Fellows’ own experience and expertise, the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme is empowering a new generation of change-makers, including practitioners, activists, researchers, policy-makers and campaigners, to work together across disciplines, backgrounds and borders. AFSEE was established in 2017 with a landmark gift from Atlantic Philanthropies, and over the next 20 years will support over 400 Fellows drawn from both the global South and global North. It is one of seven interconnected Atlantic Fellows programmes, which together create a global community to advance fairer, healthier and more inclusive societies.
