Poverty Alleviation and Rural Development Summit; 19-21 August 2014; African ...Nixon Ganduri
Overally, 70% of the South African poor live in Rural Areas (Government of South Africa 2000); where the most primary school completion is on average more than 20% lower, nearly twice as many children suffer from malnutrition, and maternal mortality rates are twice as high when compared with other countries. Some 5% of rural households report no cash income whatsoever. Despite being rural dwellers, more than one million African households have no access to demarcated arable land. While up to 12 % in South Africa depend on state pensions as their only source of cash income. As much as 26% of rural households entirely depend on remittances from urban centers for their cash income. Severe job losses in several industries are likely to have worsened the situation of late. Superimposed on this is the growing impact of HIV/AIDS on rural livelihoods. It is I guess an unfortunate reality that in a country like South Africa in which 20% of the population is HIV positive, 25.6% are unemployed, the sustainability of rural livelihoods is still not considered a priority issue as is meant to be by some stakeholders.

The result of the analysis revealed that the per capita expenditure for participants N750,167.64 per annum. While that of non participants was N605833.57 per annum. The poverty line for the participants and non participants were N500,111.36 and N403,889.05 the poverty head count were 18.20% and 41.30%, the gap index was 10.20% and 25.90%, poverty severity index was 3.30% and 6.90% respectively. All the poverty indices showed that non participants were poorer than the participant’s household in the study area. The poverty line and core poverty for participants were found to be higher than that of the non participants, indicating that the participants had better standard of living when compare with non participants, meaning the programme have positive impact on their consumption expenditure through increased in income accrued. Hence, more participants were non poor than the non participants.

Determinants of Income Inequality Among Cooperative Farmers in Anambra Stateijtsrd
This study examines determinants of income inequality among cooperative farmers in Anambra State. The study, modeled variables like farmers efficiency, technology, market proximity, credit obtained, farm size, soil fertility, crop type, input supply and agric extension services using descriptive and inferential statistics. The population of this study was made up of 298 members of selected cooperative societies in Anambra State and a sample of 171 was determined for the study using Taro Yamane formula. A structured questionnaire was administered to 171 respondents but only 115 responded to the questionnaire. The data collected using the questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that apart from market proximity which was not significant, all other factors farmers' efficiency, technology, credit obtained, farm size, soil fertility, crop type, input supply and agric extension services contributed significantly to the farmers' income. This study therefore recommends that The government should carry out a public enlightenment campaign on the potentials of agricultural cooperatives as sustainable approach for reducing income inequality through synergy and emphasis should be placed more on cooperative education as requirement for growth and development since most of the people in the target areas has low educational background. The agricultural cooperative subsector should be adequately financed to help improve the farmers' income and also reduce income inequality. Agricultural technology transfer through extension services should be encouraged to help create awareness and increase adoption of better ways farming so as to increase the farmers' income and reduce income inequality among others.

Fadama Crop Farming Enterprise and Poverty Alleviation in Kogi State, NigeriaAI Publications
Poverty is an affront to the existence of mankind, which must be fought from all angles. This study examines the impact of Fadama crop farming enterprise on poverty alleviation in Kogi State. Questionnaires were administered to 180 households, 90 each to Fadama crop farming and Non-Fadama farming households in the area. Data was analyzed using the relative poverty index and the logit regression model. The relative poverty index using the so-called P.alpha shows that the non-Fadama farming households had higher values of the various dimensions of the incidence of poverty, P0, P1, and P2, than the Fadama crop farming households while the logit regression analysis with the aid of the SPSS packages revealed that five of the nine variables, namely; farm size, household size, annual income, total expenditure and age of the household heads, were statistically significant at 5% level. The study has identified Fadama crop farming enterprise as a means of economic development and poverty alleviation and therefore recommends the development and proper management of the vast Fadama resources and potential in Kogi State and Nigeria at large, the enhancement of the income base of the Fadama crop farmers through governments’ deliberate policies/programmes, the provision/subsidization of Fadama farming inputs as well as education/public enlightenment of the Fadama crop farmers. Finally, suggestions for further studies on the impact of Fadama farming generally on poverty alleviation and the role of other enterprises such as the small scale industries/businesses on poverty alleviation in the study area were proffered.
Effect of Yam-Based Production on Poverty Status of Farmers In Kabba/Bunu Loc...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— Poverty as a scourge is multi-dimensional in scope and needs concerted efforts to resolve. The study focused on the effect of yam-based farming on poverty status of farmer in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area (L.G.A) of Kogi State, Nigeria.
Specifically, the objectives were to examine the socio-economic characteristics of yam farmers in the study area, determine the effects of yam-based farming on their economic status, examine their level of poverty and examine the determinants of poverty status. Data for the study was obtained from a well-structured questionnaire administered to 120 respondents selected from the study area. Data analysis was done using simple descriptive statistics, poverty line analysis and logit model, the hypothesis was tested using t-test statistics.
The results showed that without income from yam production 68.5% of the respondents were below the poverty line while 31.5% of the respondents were above poverty line. But with yam production, the annual income of the respondents significantly scaled up (P < 0.05) with the proportion of the poor and non-poor being 29% and 71% respectively: Respondent perceived benefits derivable from yam-based production at (mean ≥ 3.00); were absence of hunger in the households (mean ≤ 4.42); affording better medical services (mean 4.26); ability to pay school fees (mean = 4.07) and payment of house rents (mean 3.44) among others. Finally, the results also revealed that three variable in the logit regression model were significant in explaining variation in the poverty status of the farming households. These are farm size, income from yam-based production and non-farming activities. It was recommended that government should provide bigger plot of land for those farmers who are determined to take farming as business and youth should be empowered in rural areas for farming.

COMMITTEE: Environment Council<br />QUESTION OF: Effective method to reduce poverty<br />SUBMITTED BY: Nigeria<br />CO-SUBMITTED BY: ECOWAS, Gulf of Guinea Security Committee, NEPAD<br />African Development Bank, South Africa and Egypt, OPEC.<br /> Aware of the seriousness of poverty on Nigeria rather than deforestation, and the necessity of the challenge of reducing urban poverty. Between 1990 and 2000, Nigeria lost an average of 409,700 hectares of forest per year.<br />Realizing that deforestation in poverty, particularly the number of poor in rural areas intensely drop from 26.3million to 22.8million, while urban poverty rose from 9.7million to 11.9million.<br />Noting with deep concern that extreme poverty increased nationally from 10million to 14million, with a tripling of headcount in urban areas. Income distribution also worsened. National poverty would have declined by 13.6% rather than 8.9% unless worsening income distribution.<br />Emphasizing that apart from regional characteristics, poverty is strongly influenced by education, age and nature of employment.<br />Keeping in mind that Participatory Poverty Assessment indicates that the poor children increasingly do not attend School as they consider quality of education weak and ponder education increasing employment prospects minimal.<br />Reaffirming the necessity according to World Bank Nigeria will require a strong and focused emphasis on regional aspects of economic growth.<br />Calls upon all member nations, Nigeria is lack of oil revenue, subsidy so that unable to implement on deforestation issue that affect neighbor countries.<br />Calls for government to use resources more efficiently, and divide the portion of government in both recurrent and capital budget in health and education. Organize fiscal expenditures in social sector. Totally resources have not been used efficiently, resulting in serious deterioration in the quantity and quality of services and minimized benefits to the poor.<br />Request to National Consumer Survey to set the reliable data on agricultural activities, crop mix, quality of land, value of assets such as livestock reliance on wage labor, which is essential for understanding the feature of poverty of 70% of the poor whose main activity is agriculture. National Integrated Survey of Households needs to be updated based on user demands. Technical assistance should focus on couraging current efforts to improve data quality and supply to users in a timely manner.<br />Agrees to National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS), Nigeria’s home-grown poverty alleviation medium-term (2003-2007) strategy, which has taken from the country’s long-term aim on poverty diminution, wealth initiation employment origination, and value orientation. It is a nationally-coordinated framework of action in close creation with the position and local governments (with their State Economic Empowerment and<br />Development Strategy, SEEDS) and other stakeholders to fortify on the achievements of the last four years (1999-2003). Fortunately, a number of the programs of the current administration are regular with the major force of NEEDS.<br />Further more Nigeria think about reducing deforestation as we carry out the program of eliminating poverty more strongly. Then ponder on environment issue for deforestation occurred due to poverty.<br />
