ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to evaluate Participatory Poverty Reduction by Utilization of Water
Delivery of Local Empowerment and Environmental Management Project (LEEMP) in Southeast
Nigeria as a contribution towards finding water panacea to poverty associated with Livestock
Fattening (poultry and fishery), especially during dry season in water stress communities. Also, it was
meant to create awareness for Community Driven Development (CDD) Participation. Primary data
were obtained from water benefitting communities in LEEMP delivery support. Data were analyzed
using regression analysis, marginal analysis model and chi-square test. Result showed that the
farmers were composed of 43% females and 57% males. About 31% of the farmer had tertiary
educational; 29% of the them had secondary school education; 27% had only primary education
while 13% had no formal education. Most of the farmers were within 36-49 years. Large scale
poultry farmers (16%) and fish farmers (55%) used on the average 81% CDD water delivery volume
and generated 72% livestock income. The small scale poultry farmers (60%) and fish farmers (31%)
used on the average 6% of the water volume and generated 10% of the livestock income. The daily
timeliness per unit of LEEMP water delivery was 42 minutes on the average. LEEMP reduced
poverty through water utilization by 67%. The amount of poultry credit demanded significantly (p
