Abstract:
Sudan is one of the developing countries where most of its population lives below the poverty line for many reasons, including what is natural, including what is human-made, such as drought, desertification, floods and wars.
For all of the foregoing, the researcher discussed the role of the local authorities in East Nile in how to deal with poverty and reduce it and address its consequences and the effectiveness of this role that social security institutions played with Zakat, social development and microfinance. And other relevant social institutions in poverty alleviation
Highlighting this official and popular role, its effectiveness, and the economic and social effects it has on it, relying on periodic reports and research issued by these institutions in addition to what was previously written in this field.
The researcher assumed a number of assumptions, including that the local authorities in East Nile have a large and growing role in reducing or eliminating poverty, as are the treatments that were taken to eradicate poverty are sufficient or need other treatments, the study discussed the issue of poverty and worked to determine the role of each institution and what is Suitable to apply to our societies and what needs treatment and additions.
The results of the research indicated that the projects there ware applied had a great and significant role, but it needs more improvement. These projects also contributed to the stability of families and the reduction of unemployment to the lowest possible extent. Also, the most important results are that the local authorities and their related institutions cannot eliminate poverty in isolation from other institutions.
Among the most important recommendations that we recommend: Attention to zakat because it is the most important resource and funded for the poor and needy, as well as opening the door for contributions to members of society to show their role in pushing the wheel of development and bringing in and generalization of benefit, attention to large projects that a large number of poor and needy depend on, focusing on smaller financing programs that have proven successful Great, generalizing the experience of Zakat and microfinance to other social institutions that are concerned with poverty eradication.
Therefore, we can say that the role of local institutions was pioneering and large, but the size of poverty is large and needs other roles.
