Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Poverty reduction programs are essential to improving the livelihoods of disadvantaged communities in Nigeria, and Kaltungo Local Government Area (LGA) in Gombe State is no exception. The successful implementation of these programs, however, is influenced by geopolitical alliances that shape the distribution of resources and the prioritization of projects. In Kaltungo, alliances between local, state, and federal governments, as well as interactions between ethnic and political groups, play a significant role in determining which communities benefit from poverty alleviation initiatives (Zahra & Yusuf, 2023).
Geopolitical alliances can either facilitate or obstruct the effective implementation of poverty reduction programs. In some cases, political favoritism and the alignment of certain ethnic or political groups can influence the allocation of resources, leaving marginalized communities without sufficient support. On the other hand, strategic alliances can strengthen the collaboration between different levels of government and improve the efficiency of poverty alleviation efforts (Aliyu & Sulaiman, 2024). This study aims to explore the role of these geopolitical alliances in the implementation of poverty reduction programs in Kaltungo LGA and assess their impact on the region’s poverty levels.
