Social Work Intervention and Sustainable Development Support

Esther Sobeye Secundus

Abstract

The study investigates the effect of social work intervention on sustainable development support in Obio/Akpor LGA. Community were selected were selected using non-proportionate stratified random sampling methods. The descriptive survey was employed. From the statuary population from national population 2006, the Taro Yamane formula was used to orchestrate the study sample size of 400 approximately. The findings reviewed that social work advocacy and socio characteristic constitute factors that affects sustainable development support. In conclusion, the predictors correlate the criterion variable in the long term. It could be recommended that cultural practices that denies social work free access to development programme, relegate social work to the background and regard them as second class citizens should be abrogated. To improve the level of social work education in the country, girl child education should not only be made free but also compulsory at secondary school levels and affordable at tertiary level. Also, to enhance social work political participation, polities in the country should fall within the reach of both the poor and the rich. Finally, there is need for removal of violence from the country’s politics irrespective of how minus it may be. This is because social work is known to be more scared of any violent situation and in most cases would always fall victims more.
