SUCCESS STORIES ON MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS: ALLEVIATING POVERTY IN IKARAM AND PAMPAIDA MILLENNIUM VILLAGES, NIGERIA
Abstract
The implementation capacity of the millennium development goals interventions in the poverty alleviation programme of Nigeria was examined. Ikaram and Pampaida millennium villages were selected based on the initial three-year millennium development goals (MDGs) interventions to ascertain whether the MDGs could meet the targets for which they were established. Data were analysed descriptively on each MDG to observe the rate and extent of success in achieving the targets. The relationship between MDGs and poverty alleviation interventions was tested. Ikaram and Pampaida millennium villages in Nigeria have demonstrated that focus-driven interventions can have huge impact on the attainment of millennium development goals. The marked experiences gained can be extended to different regions for wider scale benefits. The millennium village approach has demonstrated that Nigeria can achieve the MDGs given that interventions are directed at specific target groups and right beneficiaries while budgets are transparent at each level of project implementation.
