Abstract
Poverty alleviation programmes have been aggressively pursued by governments in developing world, with a lot of focus on government led approaches and initiatives - which in most cases have left much to be desired. The major thrust of this study is to analyze a number of selected rural development (community driven) projects. The paper uses literature collected from secondary source to analyze selected projects. The study shows that Community driven projects are indeed effective in improving the lives of the poor in rural areas by increasing their productive assets, income level and general welfare. This study recommends that for it to achieved desired results, community driven development approaches to rural poverty alleviation should be carefully planned and monitored.

Summary
POVERTY is a global issue of concern affecting both the developed and developing worlds (in either relative or absolute terms), but felt most in the developing world because it presents itself in absolute terms as a vicious circle very difficult to break. As a result of the dangers posed by the failure of governments to take care of rural area people and their environments, the developing world has come under increasing pressure to explore new approaches to reduce the incidence of poverty in these areas and the birth of community driven development poverty alleviation programmes. It will analyze the successes and failures of some selected community driven poverty alleviation projects embarked upon by various organizations in different parts of the world, with the aim of finding the best ways to handle a poverty alleviation programme in order to achieve the best results
