摘要：This study assessed multidimensional poverty in
rural parts of Adamawa State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study
objectives were to: describe the respondents’ socio-demographic
characteristics, determine their multidimensional poverty
status, and identify the determinants of multidimensional
poverty in the communities sampled. A multi-stage cluster
sampling technique was used to collect primary data from 480
household heads selected from 16 villages across the study
area. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics,
the Multidimensional Poverty Analytical Tool (MPAT) and
a binary logistic regression model. The respondents’ sociodemographic
characteristics described in the study showed
that their mean age was 46.3 years while the average household
size was 7 persons. The study indicated that the majority
(86.7%) of respondents were male, mostly married (91.7%)
and educated (74%). The distribution of the respondents’ multidimensional
poverty status revealed that majority (61.7%)
of the households were poor. The study revealed that multidimensional
poverty in the study area is influenced negatively
by age, marital status and household size. Similarly, gender,
educational level, livelihood activities, farm size, livestock
ownership, remittance, membership of group, and access to
credit have a positive effect on multidimensional poverty. Key
among the recommendations of this study is the provision of
adequate basic infrastructure in the area.
