This research uses multidimensional poverty index (MPI) by Alkire and Foster (2011) and dimensions of health, education, housing, clean water and sanitation, access to information to analyze multidimensional poverty in the mountainous areas of Nghe An. The results show that in the period of 2016 - 2019, the poverty rate in the mountainous areas of Nghe An decreased rapidly, but the intensity of poverty decreased slowly. The shortage of some indicators such as school attendance status of children, assets for access to information tends to increase. Households in high areas and ethnic minority households have a high rate of lack of basic social services. The division is also evident in the highland districts and the lowland districts, between the Northwest and Southwest. From that situation, the study proposes a number of poverty reduction solutions for the mountainous area of Nghe An.
