Adviser:
The study objectives were to assess how socio-economic activities in terms of farm and ceramic production contribute towards poverty alleviation in Magina Sub-Location, to determine the relationship between socio-economic impacts, drivers of change and poverty alleviation in Magina Sub-Location, and to determine the extent at which drivers of change influence poverty alleviation in Magina Sub-Location.
The study involved a social survey design with both qualitative and quantitative statistics for it was on a particular population and in order to study some or all its attributes and characteristics due to its concern towards human. It employed a clustered, random sampling basing on households, KI (Key Informant Checklist tool) for opinion leaders and focus discussion group (FGD) for community member. It had 330 household respondents from 6 villages in 1771 total households sampled through Taro Yamane (1978) mathematical formula data collected through questionnaire was constructed on a five point Likert scale that was pre-tested for validity and reliability and was accepted according to George and Mallery (2003). The study was analyzed using descriptive statistics for demographic data and objective one, and objective two and three were used Pearson correlation of moment.
The report followed the thesis writing format of Bugema University, and it has five main chapters; the study results and discussion revealed a demographic information composed of household heads including females, aged between 30 – 34 years and 35 – 39 years with primary level of education hailing from Kadika village, with 4 – 6 people earning in an house earning less than Kshs. 5000 from farming.
On objective one revealed a mean 2.0846 with a standard deviation of 0.45540 on 328 items and minimum value of 1.00 and maximum value of 3.18, we can therefore conclude that the impact of wetland resource utilization towards poverty alleviation in Magina Sub-Location at household level is not a common experience for according to the findings it is occasional
The finding on objective two when correlated indicated a significant relationship between socio-economic impacts, drivers of change and poverty alleviation at 0.001 Pearson correlations. Drivers of change were significant with socio-economic impacts at P-value of 0.418, whereas a socio-economic impact was significant at P-value of 0.556. This meant there is an occasional impact experienced from the utilization of wetlands resources towards poverty alleviation in Magina Sub-Location. The study therefore rejected the null hypothesis, and accepts the alternative hypothesis.
On the third objective through correlation indicated that a driver of change has significant influence towards poverty alleviation at 0.01 Pearson correlations. A driver of change was significant with poverty alleviation at P - Value of 0.418. As a result, the null hypothesis therefore is rejected and the alternative hypothesis accepted.
