This volume is a collection of selected studies on poverty and
well-being in East Africa. Using a multidimensional approach, the
authors hope to provide a broad view of poverty and a thorough
account of the variables that contribute to it. As opposed to
traditional studies of poverty, which focus mainly on material
well-being, this volume includes criteria such as material standard
of living, health, education, housing, personal security, access to
information, freedom, participation in organization, corruption,
trust, and employment. The studies highlighted in this volume are
grouped into the following four research areas: child poverty and
malnutrition, dynamics and determinants of poverty,
multidimensional measures of poverty, and
energy-environment-poverty relationships. Together, these studies
provide a comprehensive picture of the state of multidimensional
poverty, its measurement, causal factors, and policies and
practices in Burundi, Cameron, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi,
Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda and Tanzania. The methodology utilized
in the studies is diverse as well, ranging from econometric
analysis to decision theory, to neoclassical growth models. This
book is geared towards students and researchers interested in
economic development, welfare, and poverty in Africa as well as
policy makers and members of NGOs and international aid agencies.
