This study examines ethical, sustainable, and participatory strategies for poverty eradication, focusing on the interplay between governance, ethics, and community empowerment. The purpose is to identify effective solutions that address the root causes of poverty while ensuring fairness, inclusivity, and long-term sustainability. Despite global efforts, poverty persists as a multidimensional challenge, particularly in rural and marginalised communities. Current poverty reduction strategies often prioritise economic growth and welfare transfers, neglecting structural inequalities, weak governance, ethical concerns, and community participation. These gaps hinder the effectiveness of interventions and perpetuate cycles of poverty. A mixed-methods approach will be employed. Quantitative data will be gathered through surveys and secondary sources to identify patterns of poverty, governance, and resource access. Qualitative methods, including interviews, focus groups, and Participatory Action Research (PAR), will ensure the voices of affected communities are integrated into the analysis. This systematic approach allows for a comprehensive understanding and co-creation of context-specific solutions. The study contributes to theory and practice by bridging ethics, governance, and participatory development in poverty eradication. It advances knowledge on how ethical principles and inclusive governance can improve the design, implementation, and sustainability of poverty reduction strategies. Additionally, it offers policy-relevant frameworks for NGOs, policymakers, and community leaders. Structural factors such as limited access to resources, inequality, weak governance, and environmental challenges are primary drivers of poverty. Current interventions often lack participatory mechanisms, limiting effectiveness and sustainability. Community-driven, ethical, and governance-sensitive approaches are likely to enhance empowerment, accountability, and social inclusion. Integrated strategies addressing social, economic, and environmental dimensions can achieve long-term, sustainable poverty reduction. Ethical governance, participatory engagement, and sustainability are essential for effective poverty eradication. By focusing on context-specific solutions and empowering communities, this study underscores that poverty eradication is not only an economic challenge but also a moral and social imperative. The findings can guide policymakers and practitioners in designing equitable and sustainable interventions, contributing to a just and poverty-free society.
