Beschreibung
There is no shortage of written materials about the nature and prevalence of poverty in Nigeria, but they are not all easily accessible by civil-society groups. Measuring Poverty in Nigeria was commissioned by Oxfam GB to support the development of its new programme of poverty-alleviation work in a society that is rich in human and natural resources, and yet suffers major social and economic problems. The report summarises recent evidence from a wide range of sources, including research institutions, civil-society organisations, bilateral and multilateral institutions, government organisations, and individuals. It collates their findings in one comprehensive document which surveys aspects of poverty in Nigeria from social, political, economic, environmental, and technological perspectives.Measuring Poverty in Nigeria should prove useful to development organisations and other representatives of civil society engaged in promoting good governance in Nigeria, It explores the underlying causes of poverty, both urban and rural; presents a wide range of indices; and assesses the prospects for inclusive and equitable development under Nigerias new democratic dispensation.Toni Pyke has worked with immigrants and refugees in the USA and with the Gypsy and Traveller community in the UK and Republic of Ireland. She also works as a private consultant in Nigeria.Sofo Ali-Akpajiak has worked in the development sector with international NGOs, both in Ghana and Nigeria. He is currently the Executive Director of the Development and Learning Centre (DLC), a voluntary organisation based in Nigeria.
