| dc.description.abstract | This study looked at community participation in micro-enterprise projects as a tool for poverty reduction in the rural Ngara District of 'Tanzania. Although much effort has been put in empowering and financing micro-enterprises to kick start pro-poor growth in rural areas in recent years, the level of pove1ty has remained unacceptably high. This study has identified participation in microenterprises as an important factor in the fight against poverty. Empirical data were collected from Ngara District and analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Data on participation and trends in socioeconomic indicators of poverty were collected from six out of seventeen wards comprising Ngara district. The canvassed wards include Nyamiaga, Kibimba , Rusumo, Keza, Buki1iro and Rulenge. Up to one hundred and thirty respondents were randomly selected and canvassed for information on participation and its effect on poverty and welfare. The findings show that community participation in micro-projects has reduced poverty in the selected areas of rural Ngara District ยท. The study therefore, , recommends that rural community participation in micro-enterprises should be encouraged and supported through appropriate public policy in order to significantly impact absolute poverty in Ngara District. | en_US |
