摘要:Poverty, food insecurity, hunger, and malnutrition are global challenges contained within the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) requiring countries’ priority setting to realize by 2030. Achieving the full range of aforementioned SDGs by 2030 requires a combination of pro-poor investments in sustainable agriculture, rural development, and social protection measures to continually lift people out of chronic undernourishment and poverty from rural areas where the world’s largest hungry and poor are living. Aggregating previous poverty studies done at household level, it is found that leveraging at human capital formation and financial resources are paramount pathways out of poverty followed by social/institutional capabilities. Hence, the strategies of poverty targeting has to be revisited based upon livelihood capitals based priority setting to tap untouched differential livelihood potentials and redirecting future interventions as pro-poor to keep sustainable poverty reduction policies and programs getting sustainable and addressing the poor population of the country.
