Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to develop a practical implementation blueprint for poverty alleviation in Nigeria through the economic empowerment of women. This paper conducted a critical review of 22 peer-reviewed empirical articles on various women empowerment case studies. The evidence obtained from this review and the in-depth knowledge of the authors regarding the Nigerian poverty landscape was used to develop a practical implementation blueprint for alleviating poverty in the country. The Poverty alleviation through women empowerment (PATWE) Blueprint was developed and comprised of six practical and interconnected steps. The PATWE blueprint provides a practical and comprehensive step-by-step guide which the Nigerian Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development can utilize to alleviate poverty in Nigeria. The PATWE blueprint is a proactive guide that takes into consideration the importance of cultural nuances in the development of a poverty alleviation policy in a developing country context.
