At Alfa University College (AUC), Malaysia, we believe that education has the power not only to transform individuals but also to shape societies. Recognizing that poverty remains one of the most pressing global challenges, AUC actively participates in policy-related work and advocacy aimed at addressing poverty in all its forms, both locally and globally.

Engaging in Research and Policy Development

AUC’s academic experts and research centers contribute evidence-based insights to inform government policies, NGO strategies, and community programmes focused on poverty reduction. Through applied research, AUC highlights:

  • Barriers faced by vulnerable populations in accessing education, healthcare, and employment.
  • Data-driven solutions for sustainable income generation and social protection systems.
  • Strategies for empowering marginalized groups and reducing structural inequalities.

 

 

Advocacy and Collaboration with Stakeholders

The university works closely with government agencies, international organizations, and civil society groups to shape effective anti-poverty policies. By participating in consultations, forums, and roundtable discussions, AUC ensures that the voices of disadvantaged communities are heard and represented in policy-making processes.

 

Student and Community Engagement

Beyond institutional involvement, AUC encourages students and faculty to take part in initiatives that address poverty through community outreach, internships, and policy research projects. This ensures that graduates are not only academically strong but also socially responsible, with the capacity to contribute to long-term solutions.

These efforts align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1: No Poverty, reinforcing AUC’s dedication to ending poverty in all its dimensions and fostering a more equitable society.

By engaging in policy development, research, and advocacy, Alfa University College is making a meaningful contribution toward creating frameworks that reduce poverty and improve the quality of life for communities across Malaysia and beyond.
