The question of "how effective poverty eradication measures being implemented in Zimbabwe are" has not been addressed in the context of peri-urban areas. This question must be addressed since the country has a high incidence of poverty and is working towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1 i.e. "No Poverty". Using a case study of Mutasa South peri-urban, this research therefore sought to answer the question. It adopted an exploratory methodology and data was collected from residents in Mutasa South peri-urban area and key informants from NGOs and Mutasa Rural District Council. The study found that poor people in the study area experience different forms of poverty. Poverty reduction measures being implemented in Mutasa South peri-urban include food aid, education assistance, cash transfer, microfinance and farming programmes. The effectiveness of these measures was examined based on the extent to which the programmes cover the multiple dimensions of poverty found in the study area. As the study found, the programmes take into account all the dimensions of poverty but there are aspects of these dimensions that they pay less attention to and tend to exclude some of the poor.(original abstract)
Zagadnienie zawarte w pytaniu: "Jak skuteczne są środki walki z ubóstwem wdrażane w Zimbabwe?" nie było dotychczas poruszane w kontekście obszarów podmiejskich. Należałoby jednak je rozważyć, ponieważ kraj ten charakteryzuje wysoki wskaźnik ubóstwa, a jednocześnie władze i społeczeństwo Zimbabwe dążą do osiągnięcia Celu Zrównoważonego Rozwoju nr 1 z "Agendy 2030" ONZ nazwanego: "Koniec z ubóstwem". Wykorzystując studium przypadku podmiejskiego regionu Mutasa South w Zimbabwe, niniejsze badanie miało na celu znalezienie odpowiedzi na postawione wyżej pytanie. Przyjęto metodologię eksploracyjną i zebrano dane od mieszkańców Mutasa South oraz od kluczowych informatorów z organizacji pozarządowych i Rady Okręgu Wiejskiego Mutasa. Z badania wynika, że ubóstwo przybiera tu różne formy. Środki ograniczania ubóstwa wdrażane na obszarze będącym przedmiotem badania obejmują pomoc żywnościową, edukacyjną i gotówkową, a także mikrofinansowanie i programy rolnicze. Skuteczność tych środków została zbadana na podstawie zakresu, w jakim programy obejmują wielorakie wymiary ubóstwa występujące w regionie Mutasa South. Jak stwierdzono, programy uwzględniają wszystkie wymiary ubóstwa, ale są też ich pewne aspekty, którym poświęca się mniej uwagi, stąd mają one tendencję do wykluczania niektórych ubogich z programów pomocowych.(abstrakt oryginalny)
