“…Assim, avalia-se a quantidade de artigos publicados ao longo do tempo, a distribuição geográfica dos autores e coautores e a composição de autoria nos trabalhos do portfólio textual. Alguns estudos analisaram a contribuição de programas ou projetos voltados ao alívio da pobreza do ponto de vista dos atores envolvidos/beneficiários: o microcrédito ou fundos de financiamento comunitário na Tailândia (Sripanich, Nitivattananon & Perera, 2015;Ali et al, 2017) e no empoderamento feminino no Quênia (Kulb et al, 2016); reformas agrárias em Gana (Anaafo & Guba, 2017); programas de redução da pobreza no Bangladesh (Kabir & Louise Maitrot, 2019).…”

The objective of this research was to carry out a bibliometric analysis and identify the qualitative techniques used in the research on poverty in the period from 2015 to March 3, 2020, in addition to discussing the main advantages and disadvantages associated with these techniques. For this, the SCOPUS database was used, from which the most relevant studies were identified, the journals that most published on the subject, and a table was constructed with the objectives and qualitative techniques used by the authors, from 43 scientific articles, published in 38 journals and written by 121 authors and co-authors. It was found that qualitative research on the theme of poverty is distinguished according to the audience and the target location, with no standard of techniques used, which will depend on the problems and objectives of the research, however some techniques were more commonly used such as field observation, participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group, content analysis and thematic analysis. Qualitative techniques enabled researchers to understand in depth the experiences and behaviors of the investigated groups, the identification of emerging constructs and the (re) construction of their perceptions about research objects / problems, contributing to the apprehension of the causes and effects of poverty. in all its complexity. Some limitations identified were the impossibility of generalizing the results, the need for longitudinal investigations that require a large expenditure of time and financial resources, the impossibility of knowing the sample, the veracity of information and the capture of non-verbal narratives in social media research.

“…It is important to note that, similar studies have relied on the concept of saturation, as a basis for sample size determination. For instance, Anaafo & Guba (2017), in their study to assess the impact of land reforms on livelihoods of poor land users, employed the concept of saturation to support their choice of sample sizes for the various poor land users. Consequently, the study attained saturation at the 19 th, 12 th and 15 th respondents, for female farmers, pastoralists and migrant farmers respectively.…”

Rural women in Northern Ghana depend largely on indigenous forest resources, particularly Shea and locust bean trees as a major source of livelihood support. The fruits of these trees, are so essential to rural livelihoods that their collection and processing, are subjects of intense competition among rural women. Recent studies, however suggest a significant degradation of agroforestry parklands, and the population densities of Shea and locust bean trees. Using a case study approach, and employing participatory tools such as focus group discussions, interviews and structured observations, the study sought to unpack the experiences of rural women on the decline in these tree species, and examine how this new reality affects their major livelihood assets. The study found that, the decline in Shea and locust bean trees, affects the social, human and economic capital of rural women. Exploitation of other environmental resources, the use of improved Shea processing methods, and vegetable farming, were identified as major adaptation strategies among rural women. The study also found evidence of deep-seated historical and socioeconomic factors militating against the successful adaptation of rural women. Consequently, the study highlighted the need for micro credit accessibility programmes, and gendered land tenure arrangements to support rural women in Agriculture.

“…Therefore, there is a need to undertake massive reforms that tackle land access and security inequalities. Agrarian land reforms should be pursued in broader frameworks of development initiatives, and these frameworks must be comprehensive and integrated to function proactively for the poor [ 31 ]. They should identify and target appropriate sub-groups and apply appropriate strategies to achieve the intended poverty alleviation outcomes [ 32 ].…”

Post-colonial land tenure reforms in emerging countries have partly aimed at poverty reduction through equitable land access. However, the poverty rate keeps rising in rural and peri-urban settings in Sub-Saharan Africa dominated by agricultural activities. This article reviews land tenure reforms in Mali, from the year 2000 to 2017 regarding poverty alleviation and evaluates their impacts on indigenous smallholder farmers, using multiple linear and logistic regression models and local experts’ elicitations. The results indicate that the advent of land titles as the only definitive evidence of land ownership, following the reforms, has generally weakened customary land management. Smallholder farmers face several barriers to obtaining land titles, limiting equity in land access and security. This has paved way for land markets marred by irregularities and resulted in colossal loss of agricultural lands, which are the main source of rural livelihood. Thus, the reforms have not yielded the intended poverty reduction outcomes. The study recommends that land transfers must be authorised by a single institution, represented at the various administrative levels, which issues an authentic and incorruptible document using appropriate technology. Moreover, since pro-poor provisions in the reforms usually lack implementing decrees in Mali, political will is key to achieving equitable land access and security.
