Sabina directs the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), a research and policy centre within the Oxford Department of International Development. Sabina works on a new approach to measuring poverty and wellbeing that goes beyond the traditional focus on income and growth. This multidimensional approach to measurement includes social goals such as health, education, nutrition, standard of living, and other valuable aspects of life.
