At $3.20/day, same story.
At $5.50/day, poverty in Africa has been decreasing only slightly. Note Latin America's very good performance in cutting poverty since the mid-1990s.
Basic story:
1. Poverty is falling almost everywhere, no matter which cutoff level we use.
2. Poverty is rising in the Middle East due to wars.
3. Africa's poverty is falling only very gradually.
4. Latin America has made big gains against poverty since the 90s.
