Poverty is a complicated and diversified problem that has an impact on many parts of people's lives, including their ability to acquire essentials like housing, schooling, food, and medical care. The core causes of poverty in the region can be found and effectively addressed by identifying the flaws and difficulties in accomplishing SDG-1 in South Asia. This information can help in the development of focused policies and actions that cater to the population's unique requirements, which will aid in the fight against poverty.
For attempts to reduce poverty to be successful and durable, policy development must be put together through evidence. Policymakers may better comprehend the causes of poverty and the obstacles to eradicating it by researching the failures and difficulties in reaching SDG-1 in South Asia. This can help develop and apply evidence-based regulations and initiatives, which are more likely to produce desirable results because they are founded on reliable data and analysis. SDG-1 must be accomplished with significant monetary resources, individuals, and multi-stakeholder cooperation. Finding the gaps in resources, capability, and concerted effort among various stakeholders, including governments, civil society, the corporate sector, and global organizations, can be aided by researching the deficiencies and difficulties in achieving SDG-1 in South Asia. This can make it easier to gather resources and form powerful alliances to combat poverty in the area.
