Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research evaluates what the National Youths Service Corps members community perceives as their support needs in Nigeria in tackling poverty. It also analyses the process of leveraging policymaking, using social marketing techniques. It seeks a deeper understanding of the poverty elimination processes in Nigerian and beyond. A mixed-methods research design was adopted engaging a quantitative approach in which 351 NYSC members were surveyed using self-completion questionnaires. In addition, qualitative studies in which policy-makers as well as young people within the NYSC members community were interviewed. The main findings of the research reveal that young people: NYSC members support-needs in Nigeria are inadequate. A great deal more needed to be done. A Marshall-plan scale of support is required. The most significant causes of poverty amongst the NYSC members are absence of jobs, corruption of government officials, low wages, tribalism, oil pollution, natural disasters, IMF/World Bank conditionalities and wars. The main experiences of poverty include a high youth unemployment rate, No money to-go-to-school, No money to start small businesses, less food to eat, no money to treat sickness, no money to buy-clothes, no money to afford decent homes, prostitution, absence of a public transportation system as well as into-drugs and into-kidnapping.

Book Synopsis Poverty in Nigeria by : Mustapha C. Duze
Download or read book Poverty in Nigeria written by Mustapha C. Duze and published by Adonis & Abbey Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the critical concerns in Nigeria is how to alleviate poverty in the country. The general prevalence of poverty in Nigeria is paradoxical because the country is one of the biggest oil-producing countries in the world. A 1999 World Bank report for instance showed that some 70 per cent of the population lives below the bread line - usually considered as living on less than US$1.00 a day. This raises a number of very important questions: What are really responsible for the wide prevalence of poverty in Nigeria in the midst of plenty? How is poverty manifested in the country? What alleviation strategies are in place? How effective are they? And what are the implications of all these for the country's democracy project, political stability, nation-building and development discourse? Contributors to this volume address these questions and provide insights into some of the central issues in the discussion of poverty, including how the poor themselves struggle to cope or adapt to their condition. Using multidisciplinary perspectives, the contributors critique the current alleviation strategies and recommend more viable and better- targeted approaches that will sharply reduce the incidence of poverty in Nigeria. _____________________________________________ * Mustapha C.

Within the framework of Nigeria’s federation, policy coordination between the three tiers of government is critical for achieving poverty reduction objectives. The National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) provides for a considerable increase in public investments, which primarily reflects the government’s desire to address the country’s vast development requirements. NEEDS places considerable emphasis on strengthening public expenditure management to ensure that spending is effective, efficient, and clearly linked to the achievement of objectives of NEEDS.

Book Synopsis Escaping Poverty and Unemployment in Africa by : Joe U. Umo
Download or read book Escaping Poverty and Unemployment in Africa written by Joe U. Umo and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escaping Poverty and Unemployment in Africa: A Flagship Strategy calls out unemployment as a major cause of poverty, and sees both of them as twins representing two sides of the same bad coin. After several years of failures in addressing the twin crises with stand-alone policies and programs in Nigeria and other African countries, the book proposes an innovative strategy aimed at addressing mass unemployment and mass poverty simultaneously. Inspired by the author's field experience as one of the key actors in the successful implementation of the UNDP-ILO-sponsored Jobs for Africa (JFA) program in over ten African countries (between 1998 and 2001), the book presents an alternative framework from the failed extant approaches for tackling the stubborn crises of unemployment and poverty in the continent. The proposed Flagship Strategy is a cocktail of three key policy elements, namely, (1) putting in place a maximum employment-driven macroeconomic economic stability, (2) mobilizing and empowering "ready-to engage" transformational entrepreneurs for leading investment projects/programs to ensure success and sustainability, and (3) undertaking massive investment for poverty-reducing employment (IPRE) projects in all the key sectors of the economy. Given Nigeria's exceptionalism in Africa's poverty profile, the application of the Flagship Strategy has been illustrated for over eight key sectors of this nation's economy. This presents a model for possible replication across other African countries. The empirical validation in the application of the three elements of the Flagship Strategy, along with the successful experience of emerging industrializing countries (of South Korea, Singapore, and China, etc.) in achieving massive reductions in poverty and unemployment using the elements of the strategy, commends its application to African and other developing countries facing the twin challenges. The book is intended to serve generally as an informative read for all who are interested in escaping poverty and unemployment either by themselves or for the people they care about. It has also, in particular, offered fresh strategic insights to scholars and students of development, working on African poverty and unemployment challenges. It can furthermore easily serve as a policy blueprint/ manual for policymakers and/or politicians with genuine interests in finding quick and sustainable solutions to Africa's daunting and existential poverty and unemployment challenges.

Book excerpt: Poverty reduction and inequality are undeniably the buzz issues of the millennium. And where else would one go to understand the dynamics and paradoxes they raise for policies other than Africa, the continent historically synonymous with poverty until recently when chants of 'Africa rising' seem to have replaced mourning for 'the dark continent'? Humongous resources have been dedicated to policy, research and intervention programmes and projects to reduce poverty and inequality, with Africa and South Asia getting more than their fair shares. But while everyone agrees that something is amiss with the input-output ratio of efforts aimed at poverty reduction, these efforts continue unquestioningly. This book is borne out of the need to question that missing link. It sets out to examine contents, contexts and interventions. The work begins with continent-wide evidence on Africa, examining the rising penury in the midst of abundant endowments and growth. The conclusion that the authors have come to: something is not right with definitions, measurements and policy measures for tackling poverty across the land. Country experiences (Nigeria, Cameroon, Australia and the United States) also agree with the position that poverty reduction seems to raise, indifferent to the broad policy environment within which it thrives. This book shows why poverty may not have been responsive to growth in developing countries in recent years. It examines outcomes of policies and insists that poverty, inequality and reduction strategies need not only be context-specific, but should involve much more than just narrow interventions. If, therefore, you are interested in questioning conventional positions about poverty and inequality, this book is for you.

Book excerpt: This paper discusses key findings of the annual progress report on implementing the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS)—Nigeria’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper. The progress report highlights key accomplishments and shortcomings as well as outstanding issues. Key macroeconomic indicators improved during the last years, reflecting the authorities’ attention to macroeconomic management, an improved policy framework, and favorable external environment. Non-oil growth was robust, and despite unrest in the Niger Delta, oil production could fully fill the OPEC quota. The budgetary oil price rule was an essential anchor of fiscal policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sub-Saharan Africa's turnaround over the past couple of decades has been dramatic. After many years in decline, the continent's economy picked up in the mid-1990s. Along with this macroeconomic growth, people became healthier, many more youngsters attended schools, and the rate of extreme poverty declined from 54 percent in 1990 to 41 percent in 2015. Political and social freedoms expanded, and gender equality advanced. Conflict in the region also subsided, although it still claims thousands of civilian lives in some countries and still drives pressing numbers of displaced persons. Despite Africa’s widespread economic and social welfare accomplishments, the region’s challenges remain daunting: Economic growth has slowed in recent years. Poverty rates in many countries are the highest in the world. And notably, the number of poor in Africa is rising because of population growth. From a global perspective, the biggest concentration of poverty has shifted from South Asia to Africa. Accelerating Poverty Reduction in Africa explores critical policy entry points to address the demographic, societal, and political drivers of poverty; improve income-earning opportunities both on and off the farm; and better mobilize resources for the poor. It looks beyond macroeconomic stability and growth—critical yet insufficient components of these objectives—to ask what more could be done and where policy makers should focus their attention to speed up poverty reduction. The pro-poor policy agenda advanced in this volume requires not only economic growth where the poor work and live, but also mitigation of the many risks to which African households are exposed. As such, this report takes a "jobs" lens to its task. It focuses squarely on the productivity and livelihoods of the poor and vulnerable—that is, what it will take to increase their earnings. Finally, it presents a road map for financing the poverty and development agenda.
