Abstract

Entrepreneurship policies and programs have been noted and acknowledged globally as one of the instruments
for achieving poverty reduction. As a result of the widespread poverty in the country, previous government
administrations in Nigeria have at different times initiated policies and programs aimed at poverty reduction.
This study investigated the relationship between entrepreneurship policies and poverty reduction in selected
states of the South-East, Nigeria. Survey design was employed in the study. The population of the study were
three selected states (Abia, Imo and Anambra States). Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in
analysis of data. The study found that entrepreneurship policies had joint significant effect on poverty reduction
F(1, 133) =117.900, Adj. R2=.468, p<0> significant effect on poverty reduction F(1, 120)=237.008, Adj. R2=.663, P<0> significant effect on poverty reduction F(1, 140)=501.709, Adj. R2=.781, P<0> recommends strong and focused emphasis on youth and women empowerment through the provision of
Entrepreneurship Training Centers in all the local government areas within the three selected states of the South
