5.2 Conclusion of the study
The study concludes that citizens of Rwanda studied appreciate
the fundamental role played by foreign aid in enhancing socio-economic
development as guided by MDG1. They further acknowledge its positive impact in
combating poverty among the general populace. The results show that the
socio-economic development and eradication of poverty has been negatively
affecting both social and economic problems at both the district and national
levels. If these challenges are addressed, the results show that there may be
evidence to suggest that socioeconomic development and eradication of poverty
would thus be effective.
The study further concludes that the socio-economic
development and eradication of poverty remains the fulcrum upon which efforts
to promote sustainable development rests upon. The results indicated that
challenges faced by developing nations with regard to perceptions on foreign
aid and poverty eradication ultimately require a prescription in the form of
collaborative engagement by various key stakeholders. Existing policies and
literature relating to foreign aid that systematically excludes females require
rigorous reviews and constant editing to meet the ever changing socio-cultural
lives of the citizens. By and large, the study concludes that the effective
administration of foreign aid and implementation of poverty alleviation
programmes and MDGs require a collective engagement among Government, private
and public organisations and civil society to refine the citizens? perceptions
in an attempt to combat the high prevalence of poverty and promote sustainable
development.
5.3 Recommendations for this study
The following are recommendations offered with respect to the
effective administration of foreign aid and implementation of poverty
alleviation programmes in developing nations in an attempt to improve its
effectiveness in combating poverty and promoting all-encompassing development
through MDGs.
There is need for a collaborative approach where various
stakeholders would actively disseminate information on the effective
administration of foreign aid and implementation of poverty alleviation
programmes in developing nations.
Aid to be effective on poverty eradication, must be given on a
flexible basis and not tied to a rigid criteria. The move to sustainable growth
requires a shift of international financial support from humanitarian
assistance to a long term, flexible and sustainable support for development.
Policy makers and Citizens must be staff-developed, trained or
exposed to some effective administration of foreign aid and implementation of
poverty alleviation programmes in developing nations as key stakeholders so as
to share their expectations in order to put constructive input in the
mainstream of socio-economic development.
The Governments of developing nations have to adopt a human
rights approach to development that pays special attention to equality and
non-discrimination; this to avoid wars and violent conflict which continue to
disrupt livelihoods, destroy infrastructure, reverse gains and damage the
investment climate.
Principal administrators must effectively monitor and evaluate
the effective administration of foreign aid and implementation of poverty
alleviation programmes in developing nations.
The strong partnership between Government and Developement
Partners in many areas such as micro-credit, non formal education and
assistance with social mobilization is required to contributed effectively to
the successful socio-economic performance and poverty reduction of the
country.
This study principally recommends the need for a wider research
on a wider scope to establish if some of the findings raised in this study can
be generalized.
