World is in a state of a long fight with poverty since technology advancement’s and automation came into existence, various policies and poverty alleviation programs mutually by many of the governing governments and policymakers have been put in place with the goal to eradicate poverty which however they have not yielded the expected result. The goal of this qualitative study was to investigate the claim by beneficiaries & policy lawmakers that poverty alleviation programs do not solve the poverty situation across the globe. This study will lay emphasis on eradicating poverty across the globe by practical working flow models in addition explore the reasons they gave for why programs have not been successful, and what could make them more successful and practically meet desired targets. There is a general feeling of frustration and lack of confidence in government organized programs, stemming from policy formulation and in appropriately targeting the poor. The problems of poverty alleviation programs as seen by this study are that, policy makers have no knowledge about the culture of poverty or the emotional preparedness that people need to break family generation cycle of poverty and ultimately transition out of poverty.
