 WAYS OF ADDRESSING POVERTY IN IWALANJE.

I.Creating Good Jobs.

Creating jobs to both skilled and unskilled people in Iwalanje village is a great way to reduce
poverty. When people have jobs, they have income, and when people have income, they can
more easily get themselves out of poverty. The U.N. says that “unemployment and
underemployment lies at the core of poverty. For the poor, labor is often the only asset they can
use to improve their well-being.”

The education of girls and women in Iwalanje impacts the rest of the societies in which these
girls and women live. A woman’s degree of education is linked to the age at which she marries
and has children, to her health and diseases, to her economic opportunities, to her social
standing, and to her general future wellbeing. Educating girls and women can reduce poverty in
developing nations, as well as in Iwalanje.

in business and economic decision-making, they are a key driving force against poverty, Not
only this, but better gender equality raises household incomes and greater well-being of
children,” which is a smart way reduce the poverty for future generations as well as our own.

Iwalanje village government should create transparency in spending of money this can help
reduce corruption in governments. When governments are accountable to their citizens for their
action, or inaction, in different areas of the federal budget, the citizens will be able to accurately
assess how well their leaders are leading their country. Also, it allows citizens to see if money is
 being taken away from poverty-reduction plans and into the pockets of their leaders, which could
be a cause of a stagnant economy

In Iwalanje many people are pushed into extreme poverty every year by having to spend money
on health issues and that because health issues push many people into severe financial hardship

Provision of clean water and sanitation in Iwalanje is one of the most cost-effective development
interventions, and is critical for reducing poverty. The reasons for this are that women can use
the time that they would have spent fetching water to work and produce more, agricultural
production could increase, and the costs of services and goods could go down. Not only that, but
because diseases caused by unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation cause, the most significant
child health problems worldwide, having access to clean water could significantly lower the
healthcare burden for many of these many children.

later in life. Those who are malnourished from the time of conception to 24 months, postpartum
have a higher risk of lifelong physical and mental disability. Because of this, they are “often
trapped in poverty,” and are not able to make the full contribution to the social and economic
development of their households and communities, as adults.
