1)))This study investigated the determinants of poverty among farming households in Nigeria. The study adopted the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) measure of poverty and employed the logit regression model to estimate the effect of the socio-economic variables on poverty among farming households. The results show high incidence of poverty among farming households. Age, size of household, income, and number of farms are major determinants of poverty among farming households. Further, living in the North-east, North-central, South-east, and South-south geo-political zones relative to North-west are major determinants of poverty. The results of marginal effects analysis reinforces the conclusion that the above factors are major determinants of poverty among farming households. Investing in the agricultural sector to reduce poverty should be a matter of priority. Measures aimed at improving both the quality of land and access to inputs could enhance the productivity of farmers. Though poverty is predominant in all the zones, a flexible approach to address the specific challenges of each zone rather than generalized measures could accelerate the pace of sustainable poverty reduction in the rural areas in particular and the country in general.

This pilot builds on a major study of the Indian crafts market which the proponents have just completed. The objective of this pilot is to empower and reduce the poverty of Indian artisans who now produce work of quality and beauty but who are exploited in the market. In particular, the purposes are to:
Develop expanded market outlets in North America and Europe for high quality crafts from India and create more direct links between groups of artisans in India and international market outlets -- to improve information received by retailers about the range and quality of craft products available from India, and advice to artisans on improvements in technologies which would make their products more serviceable;
Expand the incomes going directly to the artisans; and
Enable groups of poor Indian artisans to sustain livelihoods they value and improve their well-being in terms of opportunities, empowerment, and satisfaction or motivation.
The Smithsonian Freer and Sackler Galleries Shops will organize a buyers network of museum shops and stores in North America and possibly Europe that are interested in fair trade in high quality craft products, in order to get access to more diverse products and to ensure that a higher percentage of the profits goes to the artisans. The Mehrangarh Museum Trust in Jodpur will help organize an artisanal network, focusing on groups of poor artisans in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh. The Trust will help the artisans’ network to negotiate with the international retail network, fill purchase orders, resolve logistics problems for export, and hold workshops with the artisans to evaluate the process and find out what they would like to improve. Once the networks are functioning, the proposal includes experimentation in developing a holographic seal of authenticity to protect the artisans from being undercut by mass produced copies, and complementary use of e-commerce.
A baseline study will be done of the artisans' groups participating, and in the control group, focusing on their incomes, physical conditions under which they work, their perception of their opportunities, their security, the degree of social organization and bonding in their cooperative, their values, and their aspirations for their lives. These factors will be resurveyed each year for three years, and changes will be evaluated and conditioning
