Keywords:

This study examines the role of sustainable economic development
models in reducing poverty at the regional level. It explores the theoretical foundations
of poverty reduction and analyzes practical approaches that promote inclusive
economic growth, employment generation, social protection, financial inclusion, and
institutional development. The research highlights the importance of integrating
economic, social, and environmental dimensions of development to ensure long-term
poverty alleviation. Particular attention is given to regional development strategies that
enhance human capital, improve infrastructure, and create opportunities for vulnerable
populations. The findings suggest that sustainable economic development models
contribute significantly to improving living standards, reducing income disparities, and
strengthening regional economic resilience.
