Abstract
This study is an appraisal of the effect of Anambra Integrated Development Strategy (ANIDS) on sustainable development in Anambra State. The study falls within Public Policy analysis in public administration. The researcher set out to evaluate the extent of the implementation of ANIDS policy in order to find out why poverty level in Anambra state. Questionnaire, interview and personal observation were instruments used to generate data for analysis. Using simple percentages and chi-square as analytical tools, the study reveals that the five years of ANIDS implementation made minimal impact in the living condition, standard of life of the people that in-spite of the effort and financial input by the state government, Anambrarians are still poor. The researcher found poor implementation as a debilitating factor, failure to carry the people along and political interests as impeding factors. Based on the findings the researcher recommends inter alia: that Anambra Integrated Development Strategy (ANIDS) should be made to focus on citizenry and their welfare. It is also recommended that the effort and the funds expended on the programme should be made to benefit the masses through effective implementation.
