Using a multistage sampling approach, data was collected from 120 households and analysed using frequencies and percentages, Foster Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) index and logistic regression analysis. The result shows that the incidence of poverty among rural households is slightly pervasive (48.3%). It is also realised that gender, membership of the cooperative society, access to mobile, income, and household size are significant variables to explain the effect of the household endowment on poverty reduction. It is therefore recommended that the government should introduce policies aimed at facilitating the smooth establishment of cooperative associations in the study area and that tariffs on telecommunication should be subsidised to encourage more people to access and utilise mobile phones.","PeriodicalId":35217,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46760068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Higher learning institutions in the Global North have become central in the redevelopment of post-industrial cities that can no longer depend on heavy industries but knowledge through the adoption of triple helix models. In the Global South, higher learning institutions have lagged in leading redevelopment initiatives. This paper uses an exploratory approach in examining how universities, through knowledge production and dissemination, can lead the growth agenda in the city development. It makes use of East London as a case study where knowledge-driven initiatives have the potential to reinvent the city. The paper concludes that, by embracing knowledge-based approaches, great opportunities exist for collaborations between the city and universities in the growth and redevelopment of East London, and other cities in the Global South.","PeriodicalId":35217,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45677095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
