Here’s part of the accompanying narrative from Statista, in case you don’t recognize the country abbreviations:

 

The place where the highest share of people continue to live in extreme poverty is Sub-Saharan Africa. As of 2019, the latest year available with the World Bank, more than a third of people in the region lived below the international poverty line (currently defined as subsisting on $2.15 per day). Some of the countries most affected by this were Madagascar, Malawi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.

Several countries in the Americas and Asia also have a high share of people who live below the poverty line, for example Honduras, Bangladesh and India, where extreme poverty affected between 10 percent and 13.5 percent of people as of the latest available data. In Haiti, this number stood even higher at 29.2 percent when data was last released in 2012.
