The increase in female-headed households in
Kenya has contributed to increased poverty
levels leading to deliberate efforts by the
national government as well as other
stakeholders to develop strategies to help
alleviate poverty. However, in spite of
substantial efforts to eradicate poverty, studies
have shown an increase in prevalence,
especially in female headed households both
globally and locally.
This paper aims at establishing the causes of
poverty among female headed households in
Nyatike constituency, Migori County in
Western Kenya. The study sought to assess
the poverty and food security situation in
Nyatike Constituency using a cross-sectional
descriptive research design, which adopted
both qualitative and quantitative methods. The
study population consisted of female-headed
households with the unit of analysis based on
individual, female respondents. A sample of 29
female heads of households was purposely
selected from the clusters identified by the
Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. Moreover,
questionnaires and a focus group discussion
were the primary data collection tools.
