Abstract

Research Objective:  This study investigates the role of entrepreneurship in reducing poverty among internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Girei Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Nigeria.

Methodology: A quantitative survey was conducted among 251 IDPs, selected through stratified random sampling, utilizing structured questionnaires to assess their engagement in entrepreneurial activities.

Findings: Results indicate that entrepreneurship significantly improves income levels and living conditions among IDPs, with a notable correlation between entrepreneurial activities and poverty reduction (F (2, 248) = 25.762, p <0.05).

Conclusion: Despite challenges such as limited access to capital and inadequate infrastructure, entrepreneurship serves as a viable pathway for poverty alleviation among IDPs in Girei.

Recommendations: The study recommends enhancing access to financial resources, providing skills development programs, improving infrastructure, facilitating market linkages, and advocating for supportive policies to further empower IDPs.
