Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This research project aims to investigate the relationship between the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and poverty reduction in Anambra State, Nigeria, from 2006 to 2015. The MDGs were a set of eight international development goals established following the Millennium Summit of the United Nations in 2000, with the overarching aim of eradicating poverty and improving the quality of life for the world's poorest populations by 2015. Anambra State, located in southeastern Nigeria, provides an interesting case study for examining the impact of the MDGs on poverty reduction due to its diverse population and economic activities. The research will utilize a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the MDGs and poverty reduction in Anambra State. Quantitative data will be collected from secondary sources such as government reports, surveys, and databases to analyze trends in poverty levels, income distribution, access to basic services, and other relevant indicators over the period of 2006 to 2015. This data will be supplemented with qualitative insights from key informants, policymakers, and community members to provide a nuanced understanding of the impact of the MDGs on poverty reduction efforts in the state. The findings of this research project are expected to contribute to the existing literature on the effectiveness of the MDGs in reducing poverty in developing countries, particularly at the subnational level. By focusing on Anambra State, this study will shed light on the unique challenges and opportunities faced by a specific region in achieving the MDGs and addressing poverty issues. The research will also provide valuable insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and other stakeholders working towards sustainable development and poverty alleviation in Nigeria and beyond. Overall, this research project seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and practical policy implementation by examining the impact of the MDGs on poverty reduction in Anambra State, Nigeria. By combining quantitative analysis with qualitative insights, the study aims to provide a holistic understanding of the complex relationship between international development goals and poverty outcomes at the subnational level, offering valuable lessons for future sustainable development initiatives.

Thesis Overview

<p> </p><p>This study has critically examined the Millennium Development Goals and poverty reduction in Anambra State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined how lack of good governance in the management of Millennium Development Goals funds undermined poverty reduction in Anambra State, and how the state implementation of neo-liberal economic policies impeded the programme of poverty reduction in the State. Literature reviewed are deficient in explaining the link between lack of good governance in the management of resources relating to MDGs which undermined poverty alleviation in Nigeria and also did not explain how the implementation of neoliberal economic policies impeded the enormous programmes put in place by the governments for poverty alleviation in Nigeria. Hence, this was the problematique of the study. Theory of Post-colonial state was adopted in arguing that the Millennium Development Goals was a cover for the accumulation of capital by the West and the comprador bourgeoisie, and as such did not conduce to poverty reduction in Nigeria. The study relied mainly on secondary data. Using qualitative descriptive methods of data analysis, the study discovered <em>inter</em>&nbsp;<em>alia</em>: (i) that lack of good governance in the management of MDGs funds undermined poverty reduction in Anambra State, and (ii) that the state implementation of neo-liberal economic policies impeded the programme of poverty reduction in the State. Arising from the above findings, the study recommended among other things that Anambra state government should adopt policies that favour and encourage transparency, accountability and rule of law in the management of fund that accrues to the state.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: MDGs, Poverty, Good<br>governance, Development, Neo-liberal economic policies.</p> <br><p></p>
