Strategies for local Anglican churches to alleviate rural poverty in Igboland, Nigeria.Maduka, Johnson Obiora. January 2002 (has links)
This research project concerns the role that local Anglican Churches can play in alleviating poverty in rural Nigeria. After a brief overview of the political, economic and social background of Nigeria, the first chapter considers the causes and impact of rural poverty in Nigeria. The paper then defends a theological vision for rural development, identifying four key elements, namely stewardship, empowerment, self-reliance and
the mobilization of local assets. In the final chapter, the paper argues that a combination of agriculture and micro-enterprise, in the form of small agricultural business, provides the most practical contribution the Church can make. A number of such business opportunities such as garri processing and livestock farming are considered. / Thesis (M.Th.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2002.
