Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
It is argued that globalization has increased the variability in socio-economic status of the vulnerable poor people. Although, development intervention is gradually reported as a panacea of the needy people, however little information based on appropriate methodological approach is available. This study was conducted to assess the livelihood impact of Tanzania Social Action Fund intervention on rural vulnerable groups in Makete and Rungwe Districts. This particular research analysed the impact of productive assets created on socio-economic activities of the recipients after intervention. A sample of 239 recipients and 115 nonrecipients were collected through a stratified cross sectional quasi-experimental design. An instrumental variable / two stage least square approach was used to analyze cross-sectional data. Results showed that participation had positive significant effect (p<0.05) on socio-economic status. Based on these findings, it was concluded that involvement of target poor people in the established assets enhanced their socioeconomic status.
