Abstract
The research on “The impact of anti poverty initiatives on the people” was carried in
Kapteret-sub County in Kapchorwa district. The research involved 60 respondents, of
which 71% were men and descriptive and analytical research design was used. The
research was however guided by research objectives. Objective one sought to examine the
different kinds of antipoverty initiatives in place, to establish the impact of antipoverty
initiatives on fighting poverty and to examine strategies that can effectively eradicate
poverty.
According to the findings, it was found out that Kapteret Sub County has antipoverty
initiatives in place for example economic liberalization, technological development, free
education systems, poverty allaviation fund [pafl , AND NAADS, these have been suitable
for reducing poverty and have proved to be effective when adequately used. It was
established that the strategies that have been put in place have had a major impact in the
locals as poverty has greatly reduced for example the creation of employment
opportunities, diversification of Agriculture, construction of good roads have helped to
reduce the levels of poverty in the Sub county. The findings show that much as a lot has
been done, much more needs to be put in place for poverty to be eradicated completely for
example corruption and bureaucratic tendencies, have to Be eliminated, sensitization of the
people about poverty and then monitoring of programs that have been put in place. When
all the above is put in place poverty will be greatly reduced.
Having carried out the research, I would recommend the Sub county to improve and put
more emphasis on modern antipoverty initiatives and also make follow ups on the
antipoverty programmers that are in place, this will help the Sub county to combat poverty.
Furthermore the Subcounty should recruit qualified personnel and uncorrupt officials to
help in implementing the antipoverty initiatives, community sensitization and encouraging
more people to take their children to school, If all the above is followed poverty is most
likely to reduce greatly.
