1.2 Problem statement
In Nigeria, we know that all governments follow
some form of the poverty reduction strategy. However, the extent to
which these programs affected the poor in the target group remained
unanswered. Recent studies of poverty and its reduction agencies, as
well as programs, show that there is a significant gap between the goal
of reducing or eliminating poverty and achieving the goal.
It seems
that the efforts of the various governments are ineffective and that,
consequently, little effort has been made to reap the benefits. For
anti-poverty agencies, their results do not seem to justify their huge
financial allocations. The perception of the poor in terms of formal
poverty reduction institutions is largely one of inefficiency and
irrelevance in their lives, as state poverty reduction measures do
little to their struggle for survival and rarely help them out of
poverty.
1.3 Purpose of the study
The purpose of this study is to
examine the pitfalls of poverty alleviation programmes in the curbing
the incidence of poverty in rural areas. Specifically, the objectives
are:
1 To measure the effectiveness of poverty alleviation programmes in the curbing the incidence of poverty in rural areas;
2. To assess their capability for reducing poverty;
3 To identify reasons for their failure or success; and
5. To suggest and recommend appropriate poverty reduction strategies for Nigeria.
1.4 Significance of the study
The
study should be a concerted effort to identify, articulate and
highlight the existence, causes and impact of poverty in Nigeria. It's
about streamlining poverty reduction strategies to make them more
effective. The study should also benefit a number of groups, including
those involved in poverty reduction, such as policy makers, planners,
managers, coordinators and observers from poverty and poor agencies,
ultimately benefiting from the efforts and even the general public.
