Statistical tools such as descriptive analysis, unit root testing, and ECM modelling were used to access date that was received from secondary sour. Foriegn Direct Investment (FDI) in the agriculture sector decreases the poverty rate, FDIM in the manufacturing sector increases the poverty rate, FDIS in the service sector increases the poverty rate.
