Reading Time: 2 minutesPLO Lumumba gave a review on analysis of NGO’s impact on African Poverty and specifically Kenya, where he is based. Do you know, there are NGOs registered in Kenya to end Poverty? Member countries, along with stakeholders and development partners like World Bank and IMF, registers Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs). These papers detail the county’s plans for economic growth, poverty reduction and external financing needs. With all well planned strategies, still many people are seeing better lives and economies.

However, even after 50 years of Kwame Nkrumah memorable words. African still find itself on the outskirts of progress. Despite some claiming the 21th century offers abundant opportunities, African faces various challenges. Achieving success necessitates patience, persistence and perseverance.

Primarily, Africa exhibits promising indications of growth and democracy. Secondly, business investments actively contribute to enlarging the continent’s economy. Lastly, the rise of public-private partnerships in African business and social investments is fostering substantial change. Other factors includes, change in family structure, particularly the doubling of the percentage of families headed by a single women. It can be attributed to a 3.7% point rise in poverty rates. This increase surpasses the entire elevation in the poverty rate. Which has occurred from 10.7% to 12.8% since 1980.
