Abstract
This study analyzed the impact of sustainable development strategies on poverty reduction and territorial equality in rural areas of Peru, using a quantitative approach with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational-explanatory design. The sample consisted of 368 rural households distributed across Arequipa, Moquegua, and Puno, in Perú. The results revealed a positive and significant relationship between sustainable strategies and poverty reduction, highlighting community participation, sustainable production, and infrastructure as the most influential dimensions. Additionally, relevant territorial differences were identified, along with a limited impact of financial inclusion and productive innovation when not integrated into comprehensive policies. The study concludes that sustainable development represents an effective mechanism for improving living conditions in rural contexts, provided it is implemented through multidimensional approaches tailored to territorial characteristics.
