Abstract

Summary This study investigated the effects of Fadama II cooperatives on poverty status of farming households in Oyo State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study assessed the level of participation in Fadama II cooperatives among the participants; determined the factors influencing the level of participation in Fadama II cooperatives; examined the poverty status of the participants in Fadama II cooperatives; and determined the effects of Fadama II cooperatives on the poverty status of the participants. The study was conducted in Oyo State, south-western Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select respondents for this study. A total number of 150 farmers were selected for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, participation index, multinomial logit regression model, Foster, Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) index, and Probit regression model. The result showed that the respondents participated in the designated activities carried out within their respective Fadama II cooperatives, with the maximum participation in payment of counterpart fund (100%), followed by participatory rural appraisal process (86.7%). Participation index revealed that the majority (46.7%) of the respondents had their level of participation above the grand mean. Interestingly, gender, farming experience and income from Fadama II cooperative positively and significantly influenced both partial and full participation in Fadama II cooperatives. The poverty line is observed to be ₦44300 per month ($115.36 per month). The incidence, depth and severity of poverty are estimated to be 0.28, 0.067 and 0.013, respectively. Probit estimates revealed that Fadama II cooperatives had significant and positive effect on alleviating the poverty status of the participants. Following the findings of the study, government and non-governmental organizations are encouraged to ensure that more farmers participate in Fadama II cooperatives. In addition, the approach of Fadama II cooperatives should be adopted for intervention programmes in developing countries that depend on agriculture not only for feeding their population but also as a business venture.
社区驱动的发展:法达玛II合作社在一个发展中国家减轻贫困的案例
本研究调查了Fadama II合作社对尼日利亚奥约州农户贫困状况的影响。具体而言,该研究评估了参与者对Fadama II合作社的参与程度;确定了影响法达玛二期合作社参与水平的因素;审查了法达玛二期合作社参与者的贫穷状况;并确定Fadama II合作社对参与者贫困状况的影响。这项研究在尼日利亚西南部的奥约州进行。本研究采用多阶段抽样程序来选择调查对象。总共有150名农民被选为研究对象。采用描述性统计、参与指数、多项logit回归模型、Foster, Greer and Thorbecke (FGT)指数和Probit回归模型对数据进行分析。结果显示,受访者在各自的Fadama II合作社内参与了指定的活动,其中对对应资金支付的参与度最高(100%),其次是参与性农村评估过程(86.7%)。参与指数显示,大多数受访者(46.7%)的参与水平高于平均水平。有趣的是,性别、农业经验和Fadama II合作社的收入对Fadama II合作社的部分和充分参与都产生了积极和显著的影响。据观察,贫困线为每月奈拉44300(每月115.36美元)。贫困发生率、深度和严重程度估计分别为0.28、0.067和0.013。Probit估计显示,Fadama II合作社对减轻参与者的贫困状况具有显著的积极作用。根据研究结果,鼓励政府和非政府组织确保更多的农民参加Fadama II合作社。此外,发展中国家的干预方案应采用第二法达马合作社的办法,因为这些国家不仅依靠农业养活其人口,而且还依靠农业作为商业活动。
