dc.description.abstractPoverty is a phenomenon the world over that has come to stay. The emphasis now is on how to manage and live with it. Poverty is the state where basic essentials needed to live a tolerable like is denied. Every group of persons in a country is important in the development process. If not contributing positively, it will certainly do so negatively. Thus every group must be taken into consideration in any economic development plan and for equitable distribution of the dividend of democracy. The rural women, children and farmers are the worst hit by poverty. The plight of these people is an indictment of decades of neglect. Part of the functions of the World Bank is the reduction of rural poverty. The Bank’s poverty-reduction strategy is a two-tracked one consisting of economic growth and investment in people. The strategy lays more emphasis on the latter because adequate management of this would lead to the former. The strategy participation of the rural poor in policies that affect them. The plan indicates an awareness of the need to shift emphasis to the development of the rural women and farmers by empowering them as much as possible. For proper rural development, the rural women/farmers need to be empowered because their activities are vital to sustain them, their area and the nation in general. This research work therefore, looked at the concept of poverty generally and how it affects the rural women/farmers in contributing their quota toward economic development. Finally, the work tried to see if the World Bank poverty reduction strategy and the government’s rural empowerment programmes has failed these people or upheld them. In so doing, data was collected and analyzed from selected communities in Zaria local government area.en_US
