▼ Abstract provided by author; The purpose of this study is to investigate the levels of poverty in Babylon informal settlement community in Windhoek. Babylon was selected as a case study, since Babylon was amongst the first informal settlement areas to be established in Windhoek. Poverty is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, and it is characterised by lack of power, exposure to risk, malnutrition, high mortality rate, low life expectancy, and insufficient access to socio-economic services, and opportunities for income generation; The principal research objectives of the study were:1)To determine the prevailing conditions of poverty of the people living in the Babylon informal settlement community in Windhoek. 2)To identify ways on how to alleviate the poverty of the people living in the Babylon informal settlement community in Windhoek; The target population consisted of people living in Babylon informal settlement community. The sample size was 150 heads of household. Out of 150 heads of households, only 100 heads of household were available for interviews. The data was collected with the aid of two instruments, namely a questionnaire and semi structured interviews which were presented in one form of participatory poverty assessment discussions. The data of the study was analysed as follows: issues were arranged in a logical order, and specific issues were clustered into discernable themes, that gave meaning to the data obtained; The study concluded that even if poverty were to be totally eradicated, there is still a need to ensure sustainability. The study further found that there is a need to undertake action research and policy review which cut across the economic, social and ecological dimensions for the purpose of sustainable development. Economic challenges are associated with the manner in which society produce and consume goods and services; The study recommends that, a Poverty Reduction Strategy for Namibia be reviewed and centred on the 'basic needs' approach of poor people. This approach emphasizes the importance of the involvement and participation of the people in the process of needs identification. Poverty alleviation should be attainment through the provision of health services, education, housing, sanitation, water supply and adequate nutrition. Improvement of basic services should become an integral component of long term sustainable poverty alleviation strategies of these households. Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor), (advisor).

▼ Religion is one of the forces that is strategically positioned in society to contribute to the socioeconomic development. Both secular and religious organisations are unanimous that religion should be a critical partner in the development agenda. This study systematically explores how prophetic solidarity model could help the UCZ to move from merely participating in poverty eradication to become the church of the margins in search for a poverty free society. The study argues that, prophetic solidarity model may help the UCZ to understand that poverty eradication is an aspect of the mission of God in the world and any Church that claim to be an agent of mission can only do so in solidarity with the margins. This means that the UCZ should move beyond bandage approach to poverty to understanding the key underlying causes of poverty through social analysis and critical policy engagement. This demands that the UCZ should reconceptualise God’s mission in terms of transforming political structures and policy transformation in solidarity with the poor. This will mean that the UCZ will no longer claim to be listening to the voices of the margins, since she will now function as the church of the marginalised in struggle and in solidarity with the margins against socioeconomic and political oppression and exploitation in the Zambian context. In order to enhance the prophetic solidarity engagement of the UCZ in the context of socioeconomic and political uncertainty, this study delved into David Korten’s theory of development that seeks to address poverty by dealing with the root cause of poverty; liberation theology that calls the church to be involved in political and civic affairs of society by exposing any form of exploitation and injustices; the theory of mission from the margins that seeks to empower the poor so that they can become agents of transformation; public theology that seeks the presence of the church in public space to engage in policy formulation and many others issues that boarder on the well-being of God’s people; and lastly, in chapter seven, the study reflected on Jesus as a model for prophetic engagement where it has been revealed that, Jesus stands out as an example for the church’s prophetic engagement with poverty, for he was not just a religious leader but also a political activist who confronted structures, institutions, authorities and systems that oppressed the poor.

▼ The study used 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey data to provide a detailed analysis of fertility and poverty rates in Kenya. Poverty rates were calculated using Multidimensional Poverty Index in order to compute groups of population who are poor and non poor as measured by deprivation rates. The overall objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between fertility and household poverty while the specific objectives of the study are; to investigate the effect of fertility on household poverty and probability of households with high fertility entering into poverty. These objectives were achieved through critical analysis of various indicators at the household level. Some parts of the country have recorded increase or stalled rates of poverty and it is important to understand regional poverty dynamics and its determinants. In regional comparison, multidimesional calculations of poverty showed that many households were still deprived of education, health and standards of living at different degree. In health deprivation, Central region was least deprived at 17%, followed by Western region at 20% and Nyanza region at 30%. Eastern region was mostly deprived at 33%. In education deprivation, Central region was least deprived at 4% while Eastern region was mostly deprived at 11%. Nyanza and Western regions had deprivations of 10% and 8% respectively. In standards of living deprivation, Central was least deprived while Eastern region had the highest deprivation levels. The result also showed that fertility is positively related with household deprivations whereby giving birth to one more child will increase the household deprivations in the three components. Households with high fertility are more likely to enter into poverty at 1.024%. From the analysis, the positive relationship of fertility and household poverty shows that many households still live in poverty; hence fertility is still a challenge to the country‟s economic development. Therefore argent intervention policies should be enhanced to reduce fertility. The study shows that majority of deprived households were in Nyanza, Eastern and Western regions, therefore intervention measures are required in these regions. The government should improve education system so that households can acquire quality education for economic development. The government should also enhance health provisions and strongly advocate for modern contraceptive use to reduce fertility.

▼ The research paper opens with the evolution of the Millennium Development Goals as a development framework. Having considered the evolution of the Millennium Development Goals, the paper then focuses on the socio-economic and political huddles that will make the realization of the Millennium Development Goals in Southern Africa sub region elusive and insurmountable. The study deliberately uses South Africa as a case study primarily because of her geo-political and economic position in the region. The Republic South Africa is the dominant power south of the Sahara. This paper challenges the existing conviction and rhetoric that depict South Africa as the only notable country south of the Sahara that will indubitably meet the Millennium Development Goals and targets by 2015. The paper draws attention to apparent neglect of the worsening social inequalities, the country's dual economy system, socio-economic and institutional costs of HIV and AIDS as well as neo liberal economic policies that have worsened social disparities in the country. This paper, posits that despite South Africa's economic and political achievements since 1994, the country face intractable socio-economic challenges that will turn the ambition of accomplishing the Millennium Development bleak and elusive. Economic growth alone will not propel the country into sustainable development. The government needs to consider other indicators of development such as employment, health, education, lack of technical skills as well as the growing income inequalities. The paper also looks at the socio-economic and political frameworks that have been devised to propel the country into sustainable development. More emphasis is also alluded to South Africa's system of governance with more emphasis on the role of municipalities in economic development as well as the realization of the Millennium Development Goals. Regional governments are at the heart of sustainable social, economic and political development in South Africa. Provincial governments and ·municipal administration administer social service delivery in their areas of jurisdiction. By in large most of these basic services administered by regional governments such as water, health, housing and social grants are key indicators of the Millennium Development Goals. The paper finally looks at the prospects of achieving the Millennium Development Goals in the region as well as global commitment to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals. In conclusion the research study outlines the findings and recommendations.

▼ With the transition to a democratic society, one of the challenges to emerge was to provide economic freedoms for all – that is, freedom from isolation, freedom from powerlessness, freedom from hunger, and freedom from poverty. Fighting poverty has always been high on the agenda of the democratic government since the transition. Numerous measures and policies were instituted aimed at reducing poverty. Researchers initiated serious efforts to try and understand the nature and extent of poverty, through various studies being conducted. Many of these studies focused only on money-metric measures, despite the fact that poverty is a multidimensional concept. What has resulted are various poverty-measurement methods producing different results on the extent of poverty. In addition, certain aspects of these money-metric approaches have serious shortcomings. The fuzzy sets approach addresses many of these shortcomings, as it is a multidimensional approach. Few studies have used this approach to measure poverty in South Africa. This thesis plans to use this method to analyse poverty levels and trends in South Africa, focusing on multidimensional, non-money-metric poverty. Data from Census 1996, Census 2001 and Community Survey 2007 will be used for the study. From the results of the analysis it was established that there is some divergence in the findings of money-metric approaches and those of fuzzy sets. A key result to emerge is the difference in poverty trends over the period 1996 – 2007. Most studies reviewed in Chapter Three that used the money-metric approach showed that poverty trends were upward in the 1990s, before a downward trend took place in the 2000s. This took place irrespective of the survey data used. The non-money-metric poverty trends derived in this chapter, however, show a continuous downward trend over the period. The overall mean deprivation in South Africa has declined since 1996. For people residing in provinces such as Limpopo, the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, they are more likely to be poor under the fuzzy sets approach. This may be an indication of inadequate service delivery and the extent to which recent government measures to address poverty have been successful or not. In terms of race, blacks still have the highest mean deprivation, but enjoyed the biggest decline of mean deprivation between 1996 and 2007. Finally, mean deprivation for female-headed households in South Africa was also higher than for male-headed households over the period. Advisors/Committee Members: Yu, Derek (advisor).

▼ This thesis investigates the work and operation of the Manchester-based poverty relief charity, the Wood Street Mission (WSM), between 1945 and 1990. While the history of post-war welfare has underlined the survival and growth of the voluntary sector at a national level, the development of middle-class philanthropy at a local and community platform remains neglected. By focusing on the WSM, this thesis explores the way in which a small charitable organization adapted to the post-war welfare state, and responded to important economic and social problems. It argues that local middle-class philanthropy in post-war Britain was a resilient and dynamic force within the mixed economy of welfare. In particular, it demonstrates that the WSM performed a diverse range of work in the fields of health, leisure, education and advice as a means to alleviate urban tension deriving from inflation, unemployment, housing, and juvenile delinquency. Moreover, the study establishes that the WSM combined traditional poverty relief activities with pioneering youth projects in responding to local community needs. Looking beyond traditional explanations of philanthropy as driven by either ‘social control’ or ‘kindness’, this research adopts a contemporary approach for the framing of charitable action in the post-war period, which accounts for central and local government policies, voluntary sector associations, and commercial forces. This thesis also develops historical understanding of the post-war experience of welfare by exploring the oral testimonies of former employees of the WSM, and people that received assistance, within the framework of a theory of memory composure. By drawing on memory theory, it offers a fresh perspective on the role of both altruism and stigma in post-war society by investigating how charity staff and ‘clients’ have interpreted and reconstructed their pasts. Building on research by Alessandro Portelli, Alistair Thomson and Penny Summerfield, it provides an important theoretical development through applying memory composure theory to the context of poverty and charity. The thesis will argue that charity staff and ‘clients’ accounts of the past were not only structured by different understandings of poverty, but also shaped by expressions of empathy. It demonstrates long-standing and contemporary definitions of poverty, as well as class, political and religious interpretations of the term, structured their oral recollections of the WSM. Moreover, it demonstrates that wide ranging concepts of empathy were conveyed in the narration of accounts concerning the WSM’s post-war activities, including an imagining of oneself in another’s situation and being emotionally affected by someone else’s experiences. Using the WSM as a site of study, this thesis breaks new ground in the historiography of post-war welfare in Britain by exploring the relationship of poverty, charity and memory.

▼ Empowerment, commonly of the poor and/or women, is considered as a crosscutting issue in developmental work apropos poverty reduction and gender equality. Closely linked to this vista, the study is conducted with the main objective of cross-examining the local government’s stab at incorporating gender perspective in economic empowerment endeavors. A particular emphasis is thus, given to examination of the panorama of self-employed women in the informal sector and their access to productive resources and assets. Thereupon, the status of the informal self-employed women is appraised apropos livelihood engagements and labor, access to relevant information, collective capabilities and its benefits, financial support and access to credit, and awareness on salient policies and individual agency. To comply with the objective of the study, data is collected from both the informal self-employed women and local government offices that are directly pursuing economic empowerment objectives. To this end, primary data is obtained through questionnaire survey, in-depth interview with local officials, and personal observation with some informal interviews. Secondary data are also collected from local offices and other sources. The study’s finding shows that the local government’s effort in incorporating gender perspective in to economic empowerment programmes is quite low, even though a relative improvement is exhibited. In particular, the self-employed women in the informal sector are economically disempowered as they are constrained by limited or poor access to productive assets. Furthermore, the local supports available are also the one that reinforce women’s traditional engagements that hardly yield a better income to achieve growth and improvement. Besides, constraints including lack of working premise, working capital, credit access, excessive domestic responsibilities are found as some of the prominent factors that erode the earnings of the informal self-employed women. In general, to truly realize the empowerment of women and the poor women in the informal sector, a long way move forward must be made. Accordingly, to see a turnaround, policy implementers need to strictly adhere to existing policy and regulatory frameworks that enhances women’s wellbeing apart from devising practical and feasible ways of unraveling the constraints of women engaging in activities with diminutive rewards.

▼ Most of Africans are in the precarious development conditions. They are living in extreme poverty and famine, malnutrition, poor economic facilities and opportunities, and in various political and social deprivations. These development constraints or barriers are typically backed by the experience of various environmental injustices, which contribute to human rights violations and to risks to sustainable human development. In this study, I expound that various instances of environmental injustice have the implication of human rights violations. In this regard, this thesis critically discusses the major instances of environmental injustice such as land grabbing, overexploitation of natural resources, toxic waste dumping (including POPs and e-wastes) and climate change injustice, and thereby reveals how they one way or another impact on different human rights including the right to life and security, the right to health, the right to food, the right to property, the right development, the right to culture and the right to live in a clean and healthy environment as well as on women’s and children’s rights. Hence, ensuring the meaningful enjoyments of human rights and achieving humane development in this continent strongly need avoiding environmental injustices that are jeopardizing the lives and livelihoods of millions of Africans. Thus, in this continent, abating or remedying these injustices, I concede, needs human rights approach to environmental justice and its meaningful implementation. Moreover, this study explores the rationale of mainstreaming human rights that already subsumed the issues of environmental justice in development policies and programmes. This is, I argue, very important not only to practically implementing human rights and the principles of environmental justice (principles that are crafted from human rights perspective) in development paradigm, but also to enhance sustainable human development and to ensure safe, healthy and sustainable environment. This is due to the fact that, in the arena of development, the quest of both human rights and environmental justice indorse political freedoms (such as people’s freedom of expression and participation in issues that affects their lives), equity and justice, inclusion, democracy and good governance, the principle of free, prior and informed consent, fair and just compensation, international legal remedies, empowerments of poor and marginalized societies, healthy and sustainable environment and so forth.

▼ Poverty continues to be a problem in some parts of the world and is typically severe among small-scale farmers. If this issue is not addressed, farmers will continue to fall into poverty thereby stifling the achievement of Kenya Vision 2030’s plan to transform the country to middle income status by 2030. Biofuel investments are emerging as a possible alternative livelihood diversification strategy. However, little is known on farmers’ preferences for biofuel investments. Given Kenya’s Agricultural Sector Development Strategy (ASDS) 2010-2020, it was important to analyze smallholder farmers’ livelihood strategies and preferences for biofuel investments in terms of how they should be designed so as not to stifle ASDS vision of ensuring a food secure and prosperous nation. Specifically, the study focused on characterization of smallholder farmers’ livelihood strategies and preferences for biofuel investments. The survey data was generated from a multistage area sample of smallholder farmers in Western Kenya. Descriptive statistics were used in the characterization of smallholder farmers’ livelihood strategies. Further, the Choice Experiment (CE) approach and the Random Parameter Logit (RPL) were used to elicit farmers’ preferences for biofuel investments. Pooled results from the preference analysis indicated that farmers had higher preference for short contract length compared to long contract length. In addition to this, farmers had a higher preference for quarter piece of land to be leased out compared to three quarter piece of land to be leased out. Also, they had higher preference for permanent type of employment compared to casual type of employment. Lastly, farmers in both areas had a higher preference for renewable contracts compared to non-renewable contracts. The study also estimated Compensating Surplus (CS) measures, which indicated that farmers in Kakamega are willing to accept higher compensation compared to their counterparts in Bungoma for them to participate in biofuel investments. These findings offer useful insights to policy-makers on the design of biofuel investments to address the livelihood challenges in Western Kenya and other areas with similar conditions.

▼ Poverty eradication has been the main objective of Kenya’s development policy since independence in 1963. The first development plan highlighted debilitating ignorance, diseases and misery and called for their eradication. However poverty is still widespread and server. In 1994, 47% of the rural and 30% of the urban population was poor. The overall poverty was estimated at 56% (51.5% urban and 59.6% rural) in 2007. The main objective of this study therefore is to review the poverty situation in Kenya, the alleviation strategies that have been undertaken between the years 1995 to 2008 and to propose changes if any. The literature reviews the broad concepts of poverty; it defines poverty and highlights the poverty measurement tools currently in use. It discusses various poverty concepts and causes and highlights the differences between rural and urban poverty. This study adopts the contemporary multi dimensional notions of poverty as its guiding theory. And endeavours to see poverty as being caused by individuals as well as factors beyond their control. The researcher relied on primary and secondary data. Primary data was gotten through interviews of three respondents: one directly involved in poverty alleviation at the grass roots; the other two are involved in policy formulation and implementation. The study found out that arid and semi arid regions in Kenya have high rates of poverty, here policy interventions should provide viable development alternatives. And overall rural areas have the highest incidences of poverty than urban areas. Changes in poverty in Kenya depend not only on sustasining high economic growth but also on changes in income inequality through distributional policies. Poverty alleviation policies should therefore spur economic growth, facilitate physical access to markets - especially in lagging regions and rural areas, remedy failures in markets relating to factors such as credit and also target the youth. To enable pro-poor growth the governments role should be the provision of public goods and social protection mechanisms, and the creation of institutional conditions for more inclusive and equitable development. It is also recommended that the intended beneficiaries of any anti poverty policy recognise that it is aimed at them or that it is an adequate response to their needs.
