POVERTY ALLEVIATING PROGRAMMES

Poverty alleviation programs focus on enhancing capabilities beyond just income, with micro-finance being a key strategy to empower the poor, particularly women, in developing regions. While micro-finance has spread widely and shows potential for supporting income-generating activities, evidence linking it to improvements in health, nutrition, and education is limited. To increase effectiveness, programs should integrate skill development, technological support, and better education and health strategies.

POVERTY ALLEVIATING PROGRAMMES

Poverty is not merely a matter of actual income but an inability to


acquire certain minimum capabilities
MEANING: This
is a set of measures, both economic and
humanitarian, that are intended to permanently lift people out of
poverty.
AIMS Micro-finance, aimed at lifting the poor out of poverty, is a
predominant poverty alleviation strategy. Having spread rapidly
and widely over the last few decades, it is currently operational
across several developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin
America. Many researchers and policy-makers believe that access
to micro-finance in developing countries empowers the poor
(especially women) while supporting income-generating activities,
encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit, and reducing vulnerability.
There are fewer studies, however, that show conclusive and
definite evidence regarding improvements in health, nutrition,
and education attributable to micro-finance. For micro-finance to
be more effective, services like skill development training,
technological support, and strategies related to better education,
health and sanitation, including livelihood enhancement measures
need to be included.
