The study on contributions of construction mining materials to poverty alleviation
specifically focused on identifying types of construction mining materials present in
Dodoma municipality. The study aimed at examining the demand of construction
mining materials, contribution of construction mining materials on income earning
and lastly, to examined the strategies and policies issues to improve the poverty
status of the stakeholders in the study area. The study employed a cross sectional
design in which both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used and 74
respondents were selected. Both probability and non-probability sampling was
employed. The tools employed in data collection were questionnaires, interview
guide, observation and documentary review. The types of construction mining
materials available in the study area were sand, gravel, aggregate, stone and murram.
The level of demand shows that the demand of sand was high compared to other
construction minerals. The study revealed that construction mining materials can
play a great role towards poverty reduction. However, this has been downplayed by
most employees. In addition, it was revealed that the construction mining materials
workers have been producing just for subsistence; hence it is difficult to reduce the
income poverty to a large extent. However, on the other hand, the owners
(employers) most of them get profit from such an activity. The results implied that
the government should reform mining policy for the purpose of helping Small Scale
Miners particularly wage earners. The study concludes by stating that poverty
alleviation among mining workers and transporters were not much noticeable while
those who were mining right holders do get profits. The study recommends effective
collaboration among all key stakeholders in the construction mining materials sector. |
