La Pauvrete Et Les Pauvres Dans La Ville De Bukavu. Essai D’ecriture Du Sens Et De La Causalite

Abstract

This article attempts to present the current image of poverty in order to establish its causality in Bukavu town. The populations interviewed did not have the same understanding of the spectrum of poverty, but know the external manifestations of poverty and the people considered or who consider themselves as being poor. In addition, the survey has shown that poverty is an accumulation of deprivations or lacks; but monetary deprivation or lack of money was more prevalent in 11% of the opinions in all communes as meaning poverty. The enigma remains to know the amount of money you need to consider yourself or be considered poor or not. According to this research, although several causes or factors contribute to poverty in the city of Bukavu, bad governance at all levels is the most evoked factor and orchestrated by endogenous and exogenous, state and non-state actors.
