초록

이 연구의 목적은 빈곤 완화를 위한 농업프로젝트의 저조한 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하는 것이다. 연구대상지역은 말라위 북부 및 남부 지역의 Karonga 와 Phalom be 지역이며, 82명의 농촌지도사를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 분석을 위한 변수는 농민의 사회경제적 요인, 정부 요인, 프로젝트 관리자 요인으로 구분하였으며, SPSS를 사용하여 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 분석결과 농민의 사회경제적 요인에서는 농민의 문맹률, 높은 빈곤율, 프로젝트의 낮은 참여율, 그리고 농민의 외부 의존 증후군이 저조한 농업 프로젝트의 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 프로젝트 자체 요인으로는 지속적인 자금 흐름과 지원의 부재가 유효한 요인으로 나타났다. 따라서 효과적인 농업프로젝트의 성과달성을 위해서는 정부와 이해 관계자들이 농민들에게 자조정신을 심어주어야 하며, 자금지원에 대하여 검토하여야 할 것이다. 이를 통해 사업의 높은 성과는 직접적인 농민의 빈곤완화로 이어질 수 있을 것이다.

This study aims to identify the factors influencing the perofrmance of agricultural projects for small farmers in Malawi. This cross-sectional study was conducted to discover the factors behind the slow performance of agricultural projects in alleviating poverty. The research was conducted in the Karonga and Phalombe Districts in the northern and southern parts of Malawi, respectively. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire survey administered to 82 agriculture extension workers, and a multiple regression analysis was conducted. The results indicated that farmers' socioeconomic factors, including high illiteracy and poverty rates, poor participation regarding project implementation, and high dependency syndrome, significantly affected the performance of agricultural projects. Within the projects them selves, this study discovered that there was no consistent flow of funds. This greatly affected the schedule of project activities, thereby compromising performance. The study recommends that the government and all relevant stakeholders work jointly to alleviate poverty. It is especially important to ensure that smallholder farmers are equipped with self-help capabilities. In addition, it is critical to examine the issues of funding disbursement.
