Sabina Alkire is an American academic and Anglican priest, who is the director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), an economic research centre within the Oxford Department of International Development at the University of Oxford, England, which was established in 2007.{{cite web |url= http://www.ophi.org.uk/about/people/current-people/sabina-alkire/#0 |title=Sabina Alkire | website = ophi.org.uk |publisher=Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative |access-date=17 April 2014 }} She is a fellow of the Human Development and Capability Association.{{cite web|title=HDCA fellows|url=https://hd-ca.org/about/hdca-fellows|website =hd-ca.org|publisher=Human Development and Capability Association|access-date=17 April 2014}} She has worked with organizations such as the Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress, the United Nations Human Development Programme Human Development Report Office, the European Commission, and the UK's Department for International Development."Dr Sabina Alkire". www.ox.ac.uk/news-and-events/find-an-expert/dr-sabina-alkire Retrieved 21 April 2019

Alkire and fellow OPHI member economist James Foster developed the Alkire Foster Method, a method of measuring multidimensional poverty. It includes identifying ‘who is poor’ by considering the range of deprivations they suffer, and aggregating that information to reflect societal poverty.{{cite web|title=Alkire Foster Method|url=http://www.ophi.org.uk/research/multidimensional-poverty/alkire-foster-method/|website =ophi.org.uk|publisher=Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative|access-date=3 August 2014}}

The application and implementation of the Alkire-Foster (AF) method produced a Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), a tool to identify the range of poverty among a population based on specified indicators.{{cite web|title=Dr Sabina Alkire|url=https://ophi.org.uk/sabina-alkire/|publisher=Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative|access-date=24 November 2021}}
