“…This paper therefore draws from ideas about the basis for development and poverty eradication (e.g. Ravallion 2004, Agola & Awange 2014 and from related ideas about ICTs and poverty (e.g. Flor 2001, Duncombe 2007) and about ICT4D impact assessment (Heeks & Molla 2009) to identify three different perspectives on poverty eradication:  Economic: seeing income generation as the route to poverty eradication.…”

“…"The concepts of poverty have developed rapidly over the last thirty years, and international attention is now focused more sharply on poverty reduction than it was twenty years ago" (Agola & Awange, 2014). Poverty is a big challenge all around the world, especially, in non-developed and developing countries.…”

The measurement of poverty can be analyzed by various methods and each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. The single dimensional model has a weakness since it only measures poverty in its monetary aspect, as income, while multidimensional method measures poverty by considering various dimensions but excluding the income aspect. Furthermore, it is important to combine both models so that the measurement of poverty could be more comprehensive. The study describes the method of poverty measurement by using: 1) single dimension poverty measurement, promoted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); 2) Multidimensional poverty measurement, promoted by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), and Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) by Alkire and Foster. The study was conducted in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia, and the data was collected by means of interviewing 90 marine

“…There are several reasons why one should study it, the main being that-despite real accomplishments-poverty reduction efforts in the past have been "too few, too slow, and inept" (Agola & Awange, 2013). Furthermore, people who are poor often depend on environmental resources for their survival and, while many users are women, few control the resources on which they depend, as partly, but not solely, explained by existing gender regimes (D. Rocheleau, Thomas-Slayter, & Wangari, 2013;World Bank, 2012).…”

“…The dual ambition in this article is to trace how three different but interlinked discourses-development, gender, and environment-came together historically in ideology, theory, and practice to promote poverty reduction, and to identify emerging and contemporary synergies between them in that effort. There are several reasons why one should study it, the main being that-despite real accomplishments-poverty reduction efforts in the past have been "too few, too slow, and inept" (Agola & Awange, 2013). Furthermore, people who are poor often depend on environmental resources for their survival and, while many users are women, few control the resources on which they depend, as partly, but not solely, explained by existing gender regimes (D.

Policies and strategies to fight global environmental degradation, gender inequality, and poverty are often inadequate, ineffective, or insufficient. In response, this article seeks potential synergies and leverage points between three significant interrelated discourses that are often treated separately-development, gender, and environment. Proceeding from a brief history of development thinking and poverty definitions, I describe indicators, strategies, and approaches to poverty reduction and gender equality. Second, I analyze how targeting, mainstreaming, and market-based initiatives all fail both to distinguish empirical from analytical gender and to incorporate environment and gender into development policy and action-despite their key role in meeting the normative goal of poverty reduction. Third, through a political-ecology lens, I suggest an integrated approach to poverty, inequality, and socioenvironmental challenges that arise at the intersections of development, gender, and environment, and for that, I draw examples from research on social and environmental change and action in sub-Saharan Africa.
