Abstract
This research aims to examine the relationship of multilateral diplomacy on poverty alleviation in Nigeria by analysing three key strategies: attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), acquiring Official Development Assistance (ODA), and campaigning for debt relief. The study seeks to determine if these strategies, facilitated through Nigeria's multilateral diplomatic relations, have effectively reduced poverty. Using the World System Theory, the study explores how global capitalism and the core-peripheral structure influence Nigeria's international economic engagements. It employs an exploratory research design; data were gathered with in-depth interviews and secondary sources. Data was then analysed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that these diplomatic strategies have not significantly alleviated poverty in Nigeria, largely due to domestic challenges that impede their effectiveness. Addressing these internal issues is essential for multilateral diplomacy to have a meaningful effect on poverty reduction in the country. This study further recommends that Nigerian policymakers should use multilateral diplomacy to target human development variables such as education, healthcare, and social welfare to effectively alleviate poverty. This study therefore concludes that there is an insignificant relationship between multilateral diplomacy and poverty alleviation in Nigeria.
