Background of the study
Poverty alleviation programs are designed to improve living standards and promote socio-economic development in underserved communities. In Ogoja Local Government Area, Cross River State, various initiatives have been implemented to provide financial support, skill development, and social services to low-income households (Okeke, 2023). These programs aim to reduce poverty by enhancing income-generating opportunities and improving access to basic services. However, the effectiveness of these programs is often questioned due to challenges such as mismanagement, inadequate funding, and limited outreach. This study investigates the design, implementation, and outcomes of poverty alleviation programs in Ogoja, exploring the factors that contribute to their success or failure. It further examines how these initiatives have impacted community resilience, social inclusion, and economic empowerment. The findings are expected to provide insights for refining future poverty alleviation strategies and ensuring sustainable development (Chinwe, 2024; Nnamdi, 2025).
