Perspectives of Poverty Alleviation draws on 20 years experience of the author during fieldwork and lessons from nearly seventy years of history of international aid after World War II. The results of the international aid, projects, and programs dedicated to eradicate poverty in Africa are dismal. The book offers new and exciting dimensions to understanding the challenges embedded in diagnosing, seeing and providing anti-poverty interventions. The book is written to appeal to international development aid agencies, donors, policy makers, nongovernmental organizations, government extension services, African studies departments and development workers who wish to enhance their understanding of the efficacy of anti-poverty interventions.
