Abstract:
This research aims to find out how local government policies reduce poverty in Baringin Village, Lubuk Kilangan District, West Sumatra. Includes policy strategies, policy steps, and follow-up Local government policies and village community development, as well as factors that influence local government policies not being optimal in reducing poverty in Baringin District, include budget factors, community factors, resource factors, community factors, and apparatus attitudes. The research method used is qualitative-descriptive. In collecting data, field research was carried out using observation techniques with the aim of directly knowing the data needed. Then carry out interview techniques and conduct library research by searching for documents related to local government policy issues related to reducing poverty in Baringin Village. The results of this research show that the local government's policy in reducing poverty in Baringin Subdistrict is quite good. This can be seen from the policy programs implemented by the subdistrict government, which can be directly felt by the community. However, in the implementation of local government policies to reduce poverty, there are of course obstacles or factors such as budget, lack of communication, less creative human resources, and less professional attitudes of officials.

Abstract:
A report of residents living in extreme poverty level in Banyumas Regency required local government’s response through Extreme Poverty Reduction Program. Such poverty alleviation program consequently necessitated swift provision from the regional budget (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah/APBD). On the other hand, no budget had been allocated for the program during the budget year and the APBD was limited. The purpose of this study is to examine the responses of regional budget policy to the extreme poverty issue based on online news articles related to the subject. The study was conducted using content analysis methods and systematic literature reviews. The results show that the Banyumas government's response in addressing extreme poverty issue is relatively satisfactory. The local government responded with a regional budget policy by funding the program through Unexpected Expenditure (Belanja Tidak Terduga/BTT) budget item. Part of APBD, BTT was allocated as non-cash extreme poverty alleviation expenditure, while cash social assistance was to be sought to from the provincial and central government. Local governments do not have adequate budgetary capacity to independently finance extreme poverty alleviation programs and therefore require major support from the central and/or provincial government. A synergy between local, provincial and central governments is thus needed to better manage regional extreme poverty alleviation initiatives.

Aceh and Bengkulu are included in the top list of the poorest regions of Sumatra, in fact, are in the top ten in Indonesia. Aceh with a large budget both from APBA, special autonomy funds and oil and gas revenue sharing funds, but poverty is still a fetter for the people of Aceh. It is not wrong if many question the government policies that are always echoed to alleviate poverty. This paper wants to describe in detail the government policies in alleviating poverty, it is right on target or it still dwells on the poverty alleviation discourse, and programs that are proclaimed are only limited to ideals that are not in accordance with the reality and needs of society.

Abstract:
Aim of the study: Nigeria has a high incidence of multidimensional poverty and educational inequality. The government has implemented several policies to address these challenges, but the results have been mixed. Given this, the study assesses a comprehensive analysis of Nigeria's government's policy intervention regarding multidimensional poverty and educational inequality based on the country's current situation, policy initiatives, effectiveness, and the way forward. Design/Methodology: The study employed the interpretivism philosophy, and a qualitative approach was adopted in data collection and analysis. Secondary data were sourced from the current reports of the World Bank, UNDP, UNICEF, UNESCO, and NBS for a more detailed and accurate analysis. Findings: The findings of the study reveal that addressing multidimensional poverty and educational inequality is a complex and long-term process that requires sustainable efforts through investing in rural development, as 80% of all multidimensionally poor people live in rural areas. Practical Implications: The research was able to bring to light the need for governments to invest massively in formal and informal education, industrialisation, proper planning and policies, inter-ministerial collaboration, database unification, and timely population census. Originality/value: This empirical study will provide more in-depth knowledge of SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 through practical implementation for Nigerian governments at all levels and other stakeholders. The study distinguished itself from prior similar investigations. To summarise, this empirical study will provide more knowledge through real-world application, primarily for addressing multidimensional poverty and educational inequality in Nigeria. Keywords: Government policy interventions, Multidimensional poverty, educational inequality, intersectionality Theory, Gender inequality Paper Type: Review Article

Abstract:
This paper aims to analyze the implications of decentralization policies that are linked to poverty reduction in Indonesia. The focus of the study is the decentralization policy as regulated in Law No. 22/1999, which was amended twice through Law No. 32/2004 and Law No. 23/ 2014 concerning local government. In addition, it also discussed Law No. 25/1999 concerning financial relations in the central-regional government. Using qualitative methods with a policy/program analysis approach and secondary data, this study found that decentralization policies do not link directly to poverty reduction. Out of 34 provincial regions, only 8 provincial regions have achieved a human development index (HDI) above the national average, while having a poverty rate below the national average. In contrast, there are 13 provincial regions that reached HDI below the national average and at the same time have poverty levels above the national average. Based on these findings, this study recommends, first, that local governments evaluate and direct various programs that lead to HDI improvement and poverty reduction. Second, that they synchronize poverty reduction programs in the regions with the same programs from the central government and international programs in the regions.

Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the design of extreme poverty reduction policies in West Lombok District. The design of the policy refers to the substance/content of the policies developed for the reduction/prevention of extreme poverty used by the regions. A case study research approach is used to explore the design of extreme poverty alleviation policies. The West Lombok Regency government's policy on poverty alleviation contains various local government programs synergized in accelerating the acceleration of extreme poverty reduction. In addition, it is in the form of efforts to assist the poor for a movement that is actualized in bridging aid recipients to get out of poverty immediately. The construction of extreme poverty reduction policies in West Lombok Regency adopts the concept of an innovation hub to accelerate cross-government programs that target basic services (health and education) in interventions for individual/family change as well as increasing the business capacity of community groups.

Abstract:
AbstractThis study comparatively investigates the impacts of fiscal and monetary policies on poverty in Nigeria from 1986 to 2018. Using the Ordinary Least Square and Standardized or Beta Coefficient approach, we found that the Nigerian political system plays a vital role on a large number of its citizens living in extreme poverty. Other factors identified as the likely causes of poverty are insurgencies, terrorism, and low productivity among others. Also, monetary policy is more important in alleviating poverty than the fiscal policy which favored the monetary school arguments. Specifically, monetary measures like exchange rate and interest rate are more significant in alleviating poverty far more than inflation rate while fiscal measures proxy with government recurrent expenditure plays a more vital role in alleviating poverty in Nigeria than others like government capital expenditure and government recurrent expenditure. The study recommended that in the case of monetary measures, there is a need for Government through the Central Bank of Nigeria, to shift their attention towards key monetary policy measures like interest rate and exchange rate compare to other monetary measures.

Abstract:
Eliminating extreme poverty is the mandate of the Indonesian constitution. This study's methodology is qualitative, specializing in designing poverty eradication policy analysis as an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Indonesia's extreme poverty condition will be at 1.74% in 2023. The government has created a program to eliminate extreme poverty, which can meet needs from the health aspect in the form of a Healthy Indonesia card, the food aspect in the form of rice for low-income families, and the education aspect in the form of an intelligent Indonesia card. Of these three aspects, there needs to be an aspect so that low-income families continue to get income to meet their living needs and avoid falling into extreme poverty with an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the form of social entrepreneurship. According to the findings of this study, the government may use a Penta-helix partnership model with other stakeholders to tackle the issue of eradicating poverty by 2024 and meet the target of 0%-1% severe poverty elimination.

Abstract:
This study contends that poverty is a global phenomenon and no nation is immune to the scourge it is capable of causing especially when determined and clear policy measures are not put in place to check the menace. The objectives that interrogates the nerves of this discourse is to assess the rate of poverty in Nigeria as well as examine the role of government in poverty eradication. Also, to identify the various initiatives that governments in Nigeria have put in place since the pre; through and the post Structural Adjustment Programme era of the nation. Findings from the study reveals that attitudinal response and approach of both the government and the governed is appalling. Also, there exist a sharp disconnect between the government and the governed which has resulted into policy formulations that fail to meet the yearning, demand and desire of the people. Meanwhile, it was established that political and policy instability, poor targeting mechanism and inadequate coordination among the existing three tiers of government have done harm to programme implementation. The paper makes contribution by providing information and it adopt secondary source of data gathering. It concludes by recommending strengthened relationship/ communication between the governments and the governed to ensure proper and adequate policies that will meet their targets are made as well as enforcement of initiatives of governments directed at reducing poverty.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis the author undertook a poverty and policy analysis. It is argued that it is important to understand the nature, magnitude and context of poverty before one can undertake an informed policy prescription. Existing theories of poverty, welfare regimes and social policies offer a lot of useful lessons for policy, but have limitations in offering a single model for Rwanda. The thesis demonstrated that, not only is Rwandan poverty multifaceted and deep, but it is characterized by a poverty conflict trap that can be traced back to the entire post colonial period. The author argued however that the current policy is not only inefficient in targeting poverty, but it may be unable to meet the challenges of growth, redistribution and conflict mitigation. The thesis, after further analyzing policy options, puts forward a package that is needed to reduce poverty in Rwanda in the long term and to break the poverty conflict trap. The prescribed package is put forward as a comprehensive and institutionalized social policy, which Rwanda so far does not have.

Abstract:
The choice of how poverty is conceptualised can have a significant effect on who is defined as poor and consequently who is targeted by government policies aimed at poverty eradication. This thesis examines the discourses of poverty used by the ANC government in its first decade in power and analyses what concepts of poverty underpin those discourses. By examining what concepts are used, this thesis lays a foundation for understanding what effect (if any) the concepts of poverty used by the ANC government might have on its efforts to combat poverty.

Abstract:
There is persistence of rural poverty in African countries despite efforts by governments to implement community development projects to curb poverty in impoverished rural communities. Zimbabwe adopted the Poverty Alleviation Action Plan (PAAP) under which community development programme was initiated. Community development projects by NGOs and government did not manage to meet the needs of the impoverished communities in Mvuma rural communities. More so, the incremental approach to policy making adopted by the government of Zimbabwe failed to embrace the principles of community development, for example, participation of community projects beneficiaries on everything that impact to their way of living. Despite all the efforts to alleviate rural poverty in Mvuma rural district there is still persistence of rural poverty, characterized by poor roads and struggling of most families to meeting basic needs. Mvuma rural communities are rich in mineral resources and water sources that can be utilized instead of relying on external resources through NGOs. This therefore, calls on the government and NGOs to collaborate towards capacitating Mvuma rural dwellers in order to help alleviate poverty. This study employed qualitative approach to research as it was aimed at describing and understanding rather than explaining human behaviour. Purposive or judgmental sampling was applied. This technique was used as the researcher wanted to get hold of the people who are directly or indirectly linked to implementation of community development projects. However, quantitative method was used to gather demographic information. The PAAP policy relevance to poverty reduction in Mvuma rural district and in Zimbabwe in general was the heart of this study.

Abstract:
Collaborative programmes between Government and NGOs have been identified as an effective mechanism to alleviate poverty in developing countries. This policy study explores the collaboration in programmes of rural agricultural improvements in Bangladesh to assess the benefits received by the target groups of village farmers and the poor women and the outcome of the collaborative process. This research carried out interview with 45 persons from the partner organisations like NGOs and the implementing government organisations, the international donor, and officials of the executing ministry. The study is based on these semi-structured interviews, and participatory research from 14 villages representing different parts of Bangladesh. The findings indicated that the NGOs were not involved until the implementation stage and, therefore, so had not been able to engage the poor people in a participatory process of planning, but in some cases the government officials at grass root level were effective in selecting competent participants. In some respect, the participants received better services from the grass-root level government officials than NGOs, though in some cases the expertise of the field level government officials regarding technical services was undermined. However, a good network of relationship among the field officials of partner organisations and the participants was underway in some cases. Lack of co-ordination, monitoring, and communication prevailed in the overall project management activities, which resulted in severe delay in the distribution of donor's fund for the NGOs. As a result participants dropped out in a few cases. Nevertheless, the study found an improvement in income as well as in the position of the poor people in the rural society. This raises a policy dilemma in that overall the programmes benefited their target populations even though some aspects of collaborative mechanisms have not worked well in some cases.

Some soft paternalistic measures such as nudging people to save adequately for old age may also be needed in the widespread presence of imperfect rationality and foresight.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter uses the method of the history of political thought to analyze the relationship between poverty and ideologies. Three major ideologies which have influenced government policies regarding poverty in modern welfare history will be analyzed: liberalism, exclusionism, and social democracy. This chapter uses the historical case of Britain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to examine what these ideologies said about government social policy as a way of alleviating poverty, and how support for (or antagonism against) the welfare state grew therefrom. It was found that in Britain, a new version of liberal ideology that incorporated some elements of social democracy appeared and contributed to the expansion of the welfare state in the early twentieth century. From the analysis in this chapter, three conclusions can be drawn for the first goal of the SDGs. First, in order to eliminate relative poverty in developed countries, it is necessary to recognize the variety of interpretation different ideologies have given to poverty as a social problem. Second, to increase the influence of a particular ideology, consideration should be given to the path dependence of originally rooted cultural factors, for example, the strength of liberal ideology in the case of modern British politics. Third, a comprehensive discourse that spans science, philosophy, and policy is required in order to gain broad support for a particular ideology.

AbstractThe impacts of flood on the Nigerian population over the years have been enormous. This is because the attendant associated risks such as destruction of lives and properties, livelihood displacement, and impoverishment of victims arising from increasing flood cases have constituted a threat to the citizens’ survival and therefore inform the attention the menace has drawn among scholars, policy analyst. This chapter has as its primary aim, a critical assessment of the impacts of government responses over the plight of victims of flooding in Nigeria over the years under review. Thus, special attention is given in this chapter to the various barriers or challenges facing government response to the plight of flood victims in Nigeria. Finally, some valuable steps, which if taken will reduce these barriers or challenges, are outlined. Though, the study adopted the use of secondary sources of data collection via content analysis, the experiences and knowledge gathered in this chapter will be strategically useful to people and organizations interested in the government of Nigeria’s response to the plight of flood victims, barriers inhibiting the success of fund utilization in reducing the suffering and impoverishment of the flood victims, number of deaths, and population displaced as a result.

Abstract:
Abstract Land fragmentation was not the top issue on the agenda when land consolidation was introduced, the rural labour surplus relieved the impacts of land fragmentation. Nowadays, land consolidation has also evolved into a more integrated policy tool aiming at rural revitalization and boosting poverty alleviation, institutional path dependence leads to the situation that land fragmentation amelioration is still peripheral. This chapter first elaborates how land consolidation in rural China evolves from the perspective of governing the tension between farmland protection and construction land expansion. It then explains how land consolidation gradually injects resilience in the rigid land use planning system along with the development of urbanization. Then it traces the incentive mechanism of local government officials to guarantee land consolidation implementation. Finally, challenges faced by the current land consolidation institution and practice in China are presented.

Abstract:
Poverty maps derived from satellite imagery are increasingly used to inform high-stakes policy decisions, such as the allocation of humanitarian aid and the distribution of government resources. Such poverty maps are typically constructed by training machine learning algorithms on a relatively modest amount of ``ground truth" data from surveys, and then predicting poverty levels in areas where imagery exists but surveys do not. Using survey and satellite data from ten countries, this paper investigates disparities in representation, systematic biases in prediction errors, and fairness concerns in satellite-based poverty mapping across urban and rural lines, and shows how these phenomena affect the validity of policies based on predicted maps. Our findings highlight the importance of careful error and bias analysis before using satellite-based poverty maps in real-world policy decisions.

Velkovska, Ivana. "THE COST OF NEGATIVE INCOME TAX AS A FISCAL MEASURE TO TACKLE POVERTY IN NORTH MACEDONIA." In Economic and Business Trends Shaping the Future. Ss Cyril and Methodius University, Faculty of Economics-Skopje, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.47063/ebtsf.2020.0002.

Abstract:
This paper makes an effort to evaluate the cost of negative income tax as a fiscal measure aiming to tackle the persistent high poverty rate in Macedonia. Poverty, income inequality and unemployment are expected to rise all around the world due to the pandemic corona virus outbreak and the subsequent economic crisis. Governments around the world have already implemented measures similar to universal basic income with the purpose of increasing household consumption and stimulating aggregate demand but also to mitigate the devastating effects that the recent unfavorable economic developments have on the citizens living in poverty or are at the risk of poverty. However, shrinking fiscal spaces of small economies could be an obstacle to implement such policies. Compared to universal basic income, negative income tax is a less costly policy option that targets the population living in poverty instead of providing payments to everyone regardless of their income. The analysis based on the available data is indicating that implementing such policy would cost as much as 9.7 billion MKD per year, which is 4% of the planned state budget revenues for Y2020, 8% of the planned social transfers for Y2020 and 29% of the funds that the state has made available for tackling the COVID 19 crisis so far. In addition, the negative income tax could trigger various positive effects on the economy. Since poor people spend almost all of their income, it could be expected that implementing negative income tax would rise household consumption. According to the empirical analysis in this paper, household consumption is in highest correlation to GDP growth in Macedonia compared to the other explanatory variables (government consumption, investments, import and export).

Abstract:
The World Bank (WB) was established in 1944 for the purpose of issuing long-term loans to governments for reconstruction and economic development following the Second World War (1). Over the time perspectives on development have changed dramatically. In particular, the WB’s focus began to shift to investments in health, energy, telecommunication, transport and infrastructure to earn more profit. In the field of health, the WB has focused on three areas, especially in developing countries: health, nutrition, and population. WB now has a more sophisticated view of well-being, living standards, and poverty and is committing more than 1 billion USD annually for new health projects. (2). The WB’s roles include financing, provision of information, surveillance, technical assistance and training and policy advice (3). The WB has achieved some gains in the fight against poverty. Reducing poverty focuses in part encompassing policies to promote equality but inequalities are still increasing all over the World, especially in the developing countries (4). However, the WB has faced a lot of critiques related to health. Some critiques related to health sector polices and say the bank's conditions on borrowing countries emphasize privatization and public sector contraction. This involved reducing government expenditures (in some cases for health) which have deleterious health effects (2). Other critiques related to the way of raising funds called a user charge for using public sector health services and point to evidence showing that user charges result in a decline in the uptake of services, especially among the people who are most socioeconomically deprived. The bank is also criticized for introducing DALYs to global health assessments. Critics point out that the introduction of DALYs was not based on sound methodology and that the underlying assumptions for their usefulness are weak (2, 5). Finally, the WB is also accused of bribing or conniving top government officials in the developing countries where it projects (6). There is a need for strengthening across the WB in several areas. A critical area is for the WB to strengthen its ability to work on multi-stakeholder solutions through engagement with the public sector, private sector, and citizens, and support primarily the public sector for health services. Similarly, about half of low-income countries are classified as fragile and conflict-affected, posing particular challenges. Furthermore, progress in fighting against poverty and sharing prosperity is accompanied by rising inequality in many countries. So, the WB should increase its efforts to address these issues (4). Introducing evidence into policy making is also a key issue to be strengthened for the future (5). It is also needed to strengthen the monitoring and evaluation methods in the countries.

Abstract:
During the last two decades, many developing countries are facing problems of urban poverty and housing. From 1900 several countries in the World introduced policies for Slum Development. After Independence, the Government of India was facing a huge housing challenge, especially in urban brought out schemes like Subsidized Housing Schemes. After various experiments, the areas, due to large scale migration after the partition of the country. The Central government created a national level Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO). Later, neoliberal policies had started making their ways into India. These schemes were focused only on weaker sections of society. Such policies are fully taken care of by the Government on no profit system basis. However, the city of Solapur has not been able to take the benefits of these schemes introduced at Central level. This study shows the various policies introduced by the government, their implementation, their prospects and constraints. Also, it shows the difference between various schemes implied by the Central Govt. as well as the Municipal Corporation of Solapur and current Component 3 of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) policy.

Abstract:
Drawing on the results of an exploratory qualitative study based on in-depth interviews involving government executives, politicians, business players, and non-government organisations (NGOs), this paper explores climate policies in Indonesia’s national development agenda, including whether a carbon tax could be one of the national priority policy goals. The results suggest that there is heterogeneity in how Indonesian key stakeholders perceive climate policies in Indonesia’s development agenda. Indonesian stakeholders are cognisant of the adverse impacts of climate change on social, economic, and environmental aspects. They also acknowledge that having clear and sound climate mitigation policies is required to achieve Indonesia’s ambitious GHG emissions reduction target. However, Indonesia’s development policy goals are focusing on economic growth, in particular boosting infrastructure investments, reducing poverty and inequality, and job expansion. This makes climate policies are compromised and has created conflicts between Indonesia’s development agenda and its commitment to deal with climate change issues. Overall, the study finds that climate policies are incompatible with Indonesia’s development agenda, therefore a carbon tax is placed at the bottom of the national policy goals.

Abstract:
Governments and public institutions play a fundamental role in supporting an inclusive society. The concept of the welfare state refers to the level of economic and social welfare and security provided to citizens by the state and its institutions. Prevalence of corruption, exposure to violence, competitiveness of the economy, economic growth rate, perceived levels of risk such as unemployment and financial and economic instability, government success in reducing economic inequalities, are shaping citizen's trust in governments and institutions. Citizens who are satisfied with their financial situation have more confidence in the state and have a sense of a higher standard of living. They also have a favorable perception of the state and democracy, enabling them to play an active role in policy-making and the realization of security and economic goals. The paper will present the results of empirical research through a questionnaire related to the survey of attitudes to the extent to which residents in Serbia feel safe, how much the state protects their interests, and provides them with economic security and poverty protection. The research also includes the question of how much citizens trust institutions: police, judiciary, and parliament. Survey included respondents from Serbia, Hungary and Croatia and the correlation analysis indicated the existence of a statistically significant correlation between institutional trust and the perceived feeling of security. This relationship indicates that a higher level of institutional trust leads to a higher perception of security. Keywords: security perception, institutional trust, economic security, government, quality of life

Abstract:
One of the principles of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, is progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. In line with the first strategic goal, poverty reduction is one of the main priorities of the new strategy. The objective of this study is to assess social protection interventions in Albania to determine the extent to which they contribute to the achievement of the first Sustainable Development Goal, which aims to reduce poverty. The methodology used in this study consists in the examination of policy and legal documents related to social protection and, in particular, to economic support, as well as in the quantitative analysis of data available in databases. The results show that social protection requires government intervention to improve the welfare of citizens and that the methodology for calculating the subsistence minimum in the Republic of Albania should be developed and approved to serve as a guide and official reference for determining economic support.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to analyze the significance of financial inclusion for sustainable economic development, its link substantiated with the possibilities for expanding the small business sector and reducing poverty. The following tasks were set and addressed in order to achieve the goal of the study: systematization of approaches to the importance of financial inclusion for poverty reduction and growth of entrepreneurial activity; analysis of the level of accessibility of financial services to the population of the Republic of Tajikistan; formulation of proposals for improving these processes. It has been argued that simply increasing access to financial services will not solve the problem of reducing poverty or boosting entrepreneurial activity. Public authorities should play a meaningful role in organizing the process of facilitating access to financial services by encouraging financial institutions to meet the unmet demand of categories of the population (the poor and small businesses) that are not covered by banking services. It is shown that the main areas include: policy, technology and partnerships between government, financial institutions and fintech industry. The proposed directions for eliminating low financial inclusion will solve existing problems by helping to manage the ability of poor households to generate income and cash flows, increasing resilience to the crisis.

Abstract:
Taxes are the main financial resource of government. Performance of tax system depends on the willingness of taxpayers to pay taxes or tax morale. Government can use deterrence instruments as tax penalty and size of detection. But socio-psychological factors as attitudes of community towards tax behavior of social norms related taxation can manage and regulate tax compliance more effectively than deterrence instruments. In transition economies as Kyrgyzstan government needs more financial resources to implement economic and social reforms, to decrease poverty and achieve sustainable development. Nowadays government seeks ways to increase tax revenue. Also in the project of the Conception of Fiscal Policy in Kyrgyz Republic for 2015-2020 developed by Ministry of Economy increasing tax morale, tax awareness and consciousness is stated one of the main tasks. Tax morale and tax compliance of taxpayers’ influenced by attitude of community, family and occupational group to taxes. Negative attitude of society to tax evasion can effectively regulate tax evasion and stimulate tax compliance. The aim of this research is to reveal social norms in Kyrgyzstan and to analyze how they influence on tax behavior.

Full text
Abstract:
Parallel to the developments in the global economy, perhaps the most problematic market structure within the liberalization process in the transition economies and in the Turkish economy is highlighted as agricultural product markets. The effects of agricultural product prices on other macroeconomic indicators and the fundamental economic problems such as inflation, income distribution, poverty and unemployment constitute a fundamental dynamic. At this point, public policies and regulations of market processes need to be analyzed in terms of the effects they will cause. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of interventions and regulations on agricultural products markets on market economy and macroeconomic indicators. However, it will be possible to establish the most appropriate agricultural policies possible for the macroeconomic performance of the Turkish economy. In the first section; the impacts and consequences of regulations will be determined by establishing the relationship between agricultural product markets and government interventions. The second part is to analyze these effects and results with the help of data and indicators belonging to the Turkish economy and to analyze the different effects caused by the applied agricultural regulations. The last part is; the discussion of rational agricultural intervention policies and regulations with the least possible negative impact.

Abstract:
Most, if not all advanced economies have suffered gravely from the 2008 global financial crisis. Growth, productivity, real income and consumption have plunged and inequality, and in some cases poverty, spiked. Some countries, like Germany and Australia, were better able to cope with the consequences but austerity has taken its toll even on the strongest economies. The UK is no exception and the more recent period of economic recovery might be halted or even reversed by the political, economic, and policy uncertainty created by the Brexit referendum. This uncertainty related risk to growth could be even greater if the UK leaves the economic and legal framework provided by the EU. This CAGE policy report offers proposals from different perspectives to answer the overarching question: What is the role of a government in a modern economy after the global financial crisis and the Brexit vote? We report on economic and social challenges in the UK and discuss potential policy responses for the government to consider. Foreword by: Lord O’Donnell of Clapham.

Abstract:
The present case study is part of a larger research project undertaken for the Inter-American Development Bank, concerning the issue of indigenous peoples and poverty reduction in Latin America. In introducing the Guatemalan study, it is important to clarify its scope and objectives. It aims both to broaden the knowledge of IDB officials themselves regarding the complex issues to be addressed in reducing the poverty of indigenous peoples in a country like Guatemala; and also to prepare the ground for a future dialogue between IDB officials and the Government of Guatemala on this same subject. Given this dual objective, the study of necessity contains more background information than for a document prepared exclusively for the Government of Guatemala. At the same time, the main focus is on policy concerns rather than a descriptive account of the poverty facing indigenous peoples in Guatemala.

Abstract:
Governments often found it challenging to mitigate the negative socioeconomic impacts of Covid-19 for households in and near poverty. Local efforts were critical to supplement government measures and implement government guidelines. In Ethiopia, these efforts mobilised a pre-existing, government supported village network system. In Bangladesh, a network of formal and informal strategies played an important role in increasing assistance to people affected by the pandemic, including through industry-based corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This policy brief outlines local responses to and lessons learnt from mitigating the negative socioeconomic impacts of Covid-19.

Full text
Abstract:
The persistence of poverty, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, means that public policy in this region continues to debate the right mix of supply- versus demand-side interventions that can move large groups of households out of extreme or ultra-poverty. There is unlikely to be a single approach that can transition all poor or ultra-poor households out of poverty. This paper describes the use of secondary evaluation data from four government unconditional cash transfer programmes (UCTs) to identify high- and low-flyers, that is, those households that are able to use the income shock to significantly improve their living standards and those who aren’t. The authors attempt to categorize the high- and low-flyers to create typologies based on their pre-shock characteristics. They also look at post-treatment behaviours to see what participants of these programmes did with the cash to improve (or not) their living standards. Putting together these different pieces of information (pre-treatment characteristics and post-treatment behaviours) can help with understanding the different pathways out of poverty, and ultimately contribute to a middle-range theory of sustained poverty reduction.

Howard, Joanna. Vulnerability and Poverty During Covid-19: Religious Minorities in India. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), November 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/creid.2021.014.

Full text
Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has had direct and indirect effects on religiously marginalised groups, exacerbating existing inequities and undermining the ambitions of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to reach (and include) those ‘furthest behind’. Religious inequalities intersect with other inequalities to compound vulnerabilities, particularly the convergence of low socioeconomic status, gender inequality, and location-specific discrimination and insecurity, to shape how people are experiencing the pandemic. This policy briefing, written by Dr Joanna Howard (IDS) and a co-author (who must remain anonymous for reasons of personal security), draws on research with religious minorities living in urban slums in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka states in India. Findings show that religiously motivated discrimination reduced their access to employment and statutory services during the pandemic. Harassment and violence experienced by Muslims worsened; and loss of livelihoods, distress, and despair were also acutely experienced by dalit Hindus. Government response and protection towards lower caste and religious minorities has been insufficient.

Full text
Abstract:
Rice is Tanzania’s third most important staple crop after maize and cassava, and produced by more than 1 million households who are mostly small-scale farmers. Meanwhile sunflower is the most important edible oil crop in Tanzania, also grown mostly by small-scale farmers. Over the last two decades, rice and sunflower have increasingly become important sources of income. This can be attributed to efforts by the government, in collaboration with development agencies, to commercialise rice and sunflower production to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty among actors in both value chains. There have also been efforts aimed at ensuring sustainable commercialisation and involvement of women and youth in the commercialisation process. Despite these initiatives, women and youth involvement in the rice and sunflower commercialisation process is likely to be constrained by their limited access to land and financial capital. Looking at government policy to promote commercial rice and sunflower production for poverty reduction, this brief examines the extent to which households headed by women and youth have been able to participate in the commercialisation process of the two value chains.
