Poverty is a major global issue, and it affects millions of people around the world. According to the World Bank, there are currently over 700 million people living in extreme poverty. The effects of this can be devastating to individuals, families, and even entire communities.

Unfortunately, not all countries have been able to make progress in reducing poverty levels. Some countries remain among the poorest in the world despite their best efforts at development. These nations often lack access to resources such as education, healthcare services, and economic opportunities which can help them escape from poverty’s grasp.

In this article, we will look at some of the poorest countries in the world today and examine why they continue to struggle with this ongoing challenge. We’ll also explore how international organizations are working with these nations to improve their economic prospects and reduce poverty rates within their borders.
