This study investigates ethical, sustainable, and participatory approaches to poverty eradication. It aims to explore how integrating ethical principles, sustainability frameworks, and participatory methodologies can enhance the effectiveness and legitimacy of poverty reduction strategies, particularly in low-income and marginalized communities. Despite decades of global poverty alleviation efforts, a significant portion of the world’s population remains impoverished. Many interventions prioritize economic growth without adequately addressing systemic inequalities, ethical concerns, and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the exclusion of affected communities from decision-making processes has undermined the relevance and long-term impact of many poverty reduction programs. A systematic literature review was conducted, analyzing peer-reviewed articles, case studies, and international development reports published between 1997 and 2023. The review focused on interdisciplinary sources addressing poverty through the lenses of ethics, sustainability, and participatory development. Inclusion criteria prioritized empirical studies with demonstrated impact or policy relevance. This study synthesizes knowledge across disciplines to propose a multidimensional framework for ethical and inclusive poverty eradication. It highlights how ethical theories sustainability principles, and participatory tools can work together to address both the symptoms and root causes of poverty more effectively than isolated interventions. Key Findings: poverty is multidimensional, encompassing deprivation in capabilities, agency, and social inclusion. Ethical approaches demand global responsibility and local empowerment, challenging top-down models. Participatory methods, such as community budgeting and design, increase local ownership and relevance of interventions. Gender-sensitive strategies are essential for addressing inequality and ensuring equitable development outcomes. Ethical, sustainable, and participatory poverty eradication requires a paradigm shift from narrowly economic solutions to inclusive frameworks that prioritize human dignity, environmental responsibility, and social justice. By embracing these principles, policymakers and practitioners can create more resilient, equitable, and lasting solutions to poverty. Future research should focus on localized applications of this integrated approach and its effectiveness in diverse socio-political settings.
