“…On the other hand the probability of female headed households to be food insecure is higher compared to male headed households. This result supports the finding of the study by Omotayo, et al, (2018); Tibesigwa and Visser (2016); Mallick and Rafi (2010). On the other hand the study conducted by Szabo et al, (2016) shows no significant relationship of household food security with sex of the household head.…”

This study was conducted in Manna woreda which is found in Jimma zone at a distance of 368 km south west of Addis Ababa and 24 km west of Jimma town. The objective of the study was to identify the determinants of household food insecurity in rural households. Even though majority of the sample households were found to be food secured, the number of food insecure households was not small. To know the food security status of the households, the data collected from sampled respondents regarding food preparation for seven day recall and daily consumption record were converted to kilocalorie using the Food Composition table manual. After that the major demographic, socioeconomic and institutional variables were assessed to look into their relative importance in determining the state of food security at household level. Accordingly Large family size and Asset possession, sex of the household head , number of oxen owned, Access to improved seed and chemical fertilizer are found to be the determinants of food insecurity in the area, Existence of major animals diseases and pest that affect crop production were found to significantly determine individuals food insecurity status. In addition, Some of the coping strategies that are used by food insecure household were assessed. Their local coping strategies at initial and severe stage includes: sale of livestock and productive assets as well as marketing of wood/charcoal which can in turn aggravate the problem of food insecurity.

“…The problem of poverty in the Muslim world poses multi-faceted challenges to the lives of individuals and relations between people (Omotayo et al , 2018). Although this problem is gaining scholarly attention and has been raised in relation to various issues, including social injustice, rampant corruption, societal instability, wide social polarization and insurgent movements affecting regional peace and stability at large, no economic mechanism has been proposed or implemented to address the problem effectively.…”

Purpose The problem of poverty in the Muslim world has been posing multi-faceted challenges to the life of individuals and the relations of people. Although this problem has been gaining scholarly attention and raised in relation to various issues ranging from social injustice, rampant corruption, societal instability, wide social polarization and insurgent movements that affect the regional peace and stability at large, neither effective economic mechanism proposed nor implemented to address the problem effectively. In this regard, it is also important to appreciate the recent initiations in the field of Islamic economics to present an optional view to the existing and alien economic models in the Muslim world. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to fill up this research gap by proposing a model of mobilizing funds through the global cash-waqf institution. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts content analysis to construct this global cash waqf model for poverty alleviation in Muslim countries. Findings The “global cash-waqf model” was proposed as an alternative that could be implemented and used to overcome the poverty matter in Muslim countries. It is assumed that the model will facilitate the fund mobilization among Muslim countries, which in return is going to assure full distribution and redistribution of wealth to eradicate the poverty in the Muslim world. The model was structured with a global vision in both the collection side and the distribution side. Originality/value The model will facilitate the fund’s mobilization among Muslim countries, which in return achieves an Islamic goal of distribution and redistribution of wealth to assure the well-being of all humanities in the society.

“…For the purpose of clarity, it is pertinent to first provide a working definition of poverty in this study. As a multidimensional phenomenon, poverty is conceptualized generally as including both monetary issues and nonmonetary issues that affect the standard of living of people (Omotayo, Ogunniyi, Tchereni, & Nkonki‐Mandleni, ). Using this general understanding, the paper examines the current progress made by Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa in order to assess the probability of achieving the Goal 1 of the SDGs by 2030 in these countries.…”

This paper tracks the progress of the Sustainable Development Goals in selected countries in sub‐Saharan Africa, namely, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. The study assesses economic indices such as GDP growth, employment, and poverty rate of each country to understand the present performance of these countries and the feasibility of it attaining the first goal of the Sustainable Development Goals. Considering the current economic outlook and trajectory of these countries, eradicating poverty in 2030 is highly unlikely, unless drastic measures are taken. GDP growth in Kenya is currently low, whereas the poverty and the unemployment rate are very high. Nigeria still battles with economic recovery following the recession since 2016 and a soaring poverty level. Equally, South Africa is saddled with the problem of rising poverty, unemployment, and corruption. The study recommends that cooperation between government, civil society, and the private sector needs to be drastically improved and promptly to meet the poverty eradication goal by 2030.
