In line with this, governments of sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries and international agencies have taken various poverty-reducing initiatives like financial inclusion and institutional reforms, social reengineering and humanitarian interventions. This study examined the critical role of institutional efficiency in reducing poverty rate in sub-Saharan Africa through financial inclusion mechanisms. For our analysis, we deployed the system generalized Methods of Moments (system-GMM) in a panel data environment, with time scope of 18 years and cross-sectional scope of 29 SSA countries. We found significant positive self-replicating effect of poverty rate, heterogeneous effects of financial inclusion, and unimpressive role of the institutions for the linear system-GMM. However, the role of institutions enhances the effect of financial inclusion in the context of nonlinear system-GMM procedure. Consequently, we emphasized that, in the quest to reduce poverty rate in the SSA region, relevant authorities should evolve informed policy options anchored on real time tracking movements in poverty rates.\u00a0<\/p><p>GEL Classifications: E 44, G21, I32<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><\/p><p>Financial inclusion, Poverty rate, institutional efficiency, System-GMM, Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p><p><a href=\"#\"><strong>Received<\/strong>:<\/a> 30 March 2024<\/p><p><a href=\"#\"><strong>Accepted:<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 11 April 2024<\/p><p><a href=\"#\"> <strong>Published:<\/strong><\/a> 18 April 2024<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd0ea4e elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bd0ea4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/seybold-report.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Okwu.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-file-pdf\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">PDF<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18f1372 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"18f1372\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4d79b82\" data-id=\"4d79b82\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cd38b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1cd38b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.18.0 - 20-12-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seybold-report.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ddds-e1688811920951-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-2318\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TITLE:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Financial Inclusion and Poverty Rate in Sub-Sahara Africa: Does Institutional Efficiency Matter?
