“…Development projects have a tremendous impact on income and social empowerment. Policies providing chances for families to achieve better wages alleviate poverty (Nejadrezaei & Ben-Othmen, 2019;Szilágyi, 2019). Complementary procedures, such as infrastructure loans and extension services, are required to ensure better levels of wellbeing.…”

“…Economic empowerment and poverty alleviation are terms that go hand in hand. Through economic empowerment, individuals, communities, and nations are given the tools they need to improve their economic standing and alleviate poverty in their countries and worldwide (Nejadrezaei & Ben-Othmen, 2019). Increased empowerment means more opportunities to increase savings and wealth, and reduce society's poverty level.…”

Donors, development agencies, and international non-governmental organizations are currently shaping a large part of the development and humanitarian agenda of sustainable developmen, especially regarding the first and second Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to ending poverty and hunger worldwide. Thus, an increasing number of development interventions are aimed at protecting the planet and ensuring prosperity for everyone by strengthening the resilience of vulnerable households and communities. The research implemented a quantitative methodology approach that relied on distributing a survey based on the research variables. Data were collected in both the Gaza Strip and Hungary using google forms over a sample of 700 respondents, however, only 616 respondents filled out the survey. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical tool to research the impact of no poverty and zero hunger on economic empowerment and how resource access mediates this relationship. The research results were reported using descriptive and regression analysis, while mediation analysis was based on the method of Barron and Kenney. Most of the world's poor live in rural regions, and if we want to help them, we need to concentrate on developing agriculture in a modern and sustainable manner to create employment, increase farmers' incomes and consumption, and decrease food costs. Governments need to learn more about their strengths and challenges to aid communities in expanding. While primary agriculture may provide a viable income for those living in different regions, there is always the potential for diversification. Recognizing and capitalizing on other areas' variety or growth might significantly lower poverty levels. There is an urgent need to address the issue of food security, which requires a renewed commitment from governments, farmers, national policymakers, and international donors.

“…The cash assistance became a popular aid where the targeted recipients received directly the cash and spent on whatever they wanted. Besides, the study also considered the rising government expenditure on agricultural activities under the fuel subsidy removal on account of two major concerns; as a source of raw materials for the domestic production system (Holland, Figueroa, & Gilbert, 2001;Hena, Luan, Rehman, & Zhang, 2019) and, most importantly, as a means to poverty eradication (Cervantes-Godoy & Dewbre, 2010;Hena et al, 2019;Nejadrezaei, & Ben-Othmen, 2019).…”

“…The investment in agriculture, which is one of the rural development programs, can not only lead to a sustained growth in the level of production and productivity of all rural dwellers, but also sustain improvement in the community's well-being especially the farmers, reflected by the increasing per capita income and the standard of living (Nejadrezaei & Ben-Othmen, 2019). Indeed, poor people in developing countries mostly rely on the agricultural sector as farmers who generally have low skills (Rehman, Luan, Khatoon, Iqbal, & Hussain, 2016).…”

The objective of this study was to examine the impacts of introducing compensation mechanisms of direct agricultural investment and cash transfer for fuel subsidy removal, with particular focus on the income and consumption of all household segments in Malaysia. A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model was built on the basics of the standardized LöfgrenCGE model to conduct this study. The subsidy removal, without integrating any compensation mechanism, imposed additional burdens of living cost on households as fuel was one of the important elements of the consumption basket especially during the period of transition, thus indicating a need for this study. The ultimate results revealed that the introduction of direct cash transfer was more desirable for both the low-and the medium-income segments to live with high prices where their existing consumption level would be maintained. Comparatively, the direct agricultural investment by increasing the use of intermediate inputs in the production did not seem to be enough to help the rural low-income segment within the period, mainly because of reducing the factor income (factor reallocation effect), and exaggerating consumption expenditure subsequently. Thus, direct cash transfer was considered a direct and faster way to help the needy in the short term. However, the direct agricultural investment remained the best approach to gain long-lasting impacts; not only in helping the rural poor, who mostly dealt in agricultural activities, but also in motivating overall economic activities

Rural development is a continuous process facilitated by stakeholders who play complementary roles. In rural Mezam Division notwithstanding, there exists a dearth of information on the stakeholder categories, their spatial distribution and intervention domains in the rural development process. This paper examines the stakeholder categories, their spatial distribution within the various sub-divisions and specific domains of intervention in the rural development process in Mezam Division. Field surveys, focused group discussions, interviews and the administration of 260 questionnaires constituted the main primary data sources while a review of institutional, library and internet sources served as secondary source materials of data gathering for this research. The collected data was analysed using descriptive techniques. The results categorized the rural development stakeholders in Mezam Division into four; state institutions (16%), Community Based Organisations (CBOs) (49%), Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) (27%) and Cooperative Development Agencies (CDAs) (8%). These stakeholders are unevenly concentrated within the four sub-divisions in Mezam Division as follows; Santa (33%), Bafut (28%), Tubah (23%) and Bali (16%).The areas of intervention of the stakeholders include water supply schemes (39%), school construction (20%), agriculture (17%), road maintenance (8%), health (7%), erection of community halls and palaces (5%) and electricity supply schemes (4%). The paper concludes that the rural populations should be fully empowered and their local institutions like the rural councils be made totally autonomous. In this way, the rural councils could easily rally the rural people, raise funds, execute projects, coordinate the activities of other stakeholders and serve as the custodian of rural development.
