Abstract: Abstract Multidimensional poverty is an approach used to explain poverty from another point of view. Poverty is commonly measured by the benchmark poverty line (monetary poverty), which is based on the amount of expenditure for a group of consumer goods. Usually, different poverty calculation methods will produce different results. This study uses Susenas data from 2017 to 2020 for the district and city levels in Lampung Province. The calculation method used was adapted from Alkire and Santos in 2010 with some indicator adjustments. The years of education used in this study is nine years and dropouts are assessed until the ninth year. The child mortality rate is not used but replaced by additional nutritional indicators in the form of minimal consumption of calories and protein. Another omitted variable is the owner of certain property that is replaced by the floor area of ​​the house. The results found are the number of multidimensional poverty tends to decrease in Lampung Province. In addition, the number of multidimensional poverty is greater than the amount of poverty with the monetary method. Based on this, poverty alleviation efforts need to consider various dimensions other than public expenditure.
