The proposed guide was developed for use by different Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs), regardless of each country's specific context. Although each setting requires adaptations, adopting common principles increases the potential for comparing audits and identifying new ways of working.

As more institutions adopt this approach, their capacity to share experiences, improve audit methods, and identify practices that can contribute to addressing poverty more effectively also grows. This creates a multiplier effect: the knowledge generated by one institution can support the work of many others.

This, in turn, establishes an international network for sharing knowledge on multidimensional poverty audits, fostering cooperation among oversight institutions and the continuous improvement of the methodologies they use.

At the national level, audits will show differences in the results achieved by poverty reduction initiatives and programs across the various dimensions examined, revealing where public resources are being used effectively. They may also identify the types of deprivation that most affect the population in each locality, the causes of these deprivations, and the actions that can help alleviate them.
