“…Dekonsentrasi atau desentralisasi administrasi berarti pergeseran tanggung jawab administratif dari pemerintah pusat kepada kementerian dan lembaga pemerintahnya. Sementara devolusi atau desentralisasi adalah transfer kekuasaan dan sumber daya dari pusat ke pihak berwenang di tingkat bawah, yang merupakan perwakilan dan bertanggung jawab kepada penduduk setempat (Khan, 2016;Sudhipongpracha & Wongpredee, 2016).…”

Dana desa meningkatkan kapasitas fiskal desa sehingga dapat digunakan untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat. Pengalokasian dan pemanfaatan yang tepat dapat mengurangi permasalahan desa,seperti kemiskinan. Akan tetapi, peningkatan dana desa belum sepenuhnya menunjukkan keberhasilan terhadap kondisi kemiskinan. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh dana desa terhadap kemiskinan di Aceh. Sebanyak 13 kabupaten/kota di Aceh diobservasi selama tiga tahun yaitu 2015 sampai 2017. Pengujian data dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis regresi linear. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan dana desa berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penurunan tingkat kemiskinan di Aceh. Peningkatan dana desa sebesar 1 persen dapat mengurangi tingkat kemiskinan di Aceh sebesar 0,316 persen. Hasil estimasi tersebut signifikan pada level 95 persen. Oleh sebab itu, dana desa merupakan instrumen kebijakan yang tepat dalam pengurangan kemiskinan di Aceh.

“…Increasing horizontal inequities and conflicts may occur as local governments in a given country are different in terms of natural resources, the level of economic activities, population, and revenue capacity (Sudhipongpracha & Wongpredee, 2016). Therefore, some local government will produce more revenue than others and provide to their citizen more or better quality services than is provided in poorer local governments.…”

“…It promotes more pro-poor policies bringing policy maker closer to society. Decentralization also increases the efficiency on providing public service by reducing excess supply of public goods and services (Sudhipongpracha & Wongpredee, 2016). Further, Decentralization is believed to be an effective tool for increasing income and access to basic services (Steiner, 2007).…”

Decentralization is expected to reduce poverty. Through fiscal decentralization, poverty may be reduced by optimizing intergovernmental grants. However, its effect on poverty is beginning to be questioned after some districts in Indonesia showed slowing performance on poverty reduction despite increasing transfer. Thus, this paper tends to investigate the linkage of intergovernmental transfer (IT) and poverty in Indonesia. By using panel data from 2005 to 2013, the linkage is tested using linear regression model. The result shows that increasing 1% of IT allocation will reduce poverty absolute by 0.12%, or 10% increase of IT will reduce poverty by 1.24%. The intergovernmental transfer also directly affects poverty gap and poverty rate. Increasing 10% of IT will reduce the poverty gap and poverty rate by 9.49% and 31.73%, respectively. Moreover, DAU (unconditional intergovernmental transfer) has a higher effect than DAK (conditional intergovernmental transfer) on poverty eradication. An increase of DAU by 1% will reduce the poverty number by 0.068%, in contrast, DAK only has 0.0418% to reduce poverty. However, as the difference is relatively small, the effectiveness of DAU on poverty is not consistent with the decentralization theory. Unconditional grant must have a significant difference than conditional grant on poverty. It may indicate that the DAU has been spent ineffectively and inefficiently. It may also indicate that it has been spent on not pro-poor policies. Thus, fiscal decentralization in Indonesia needs to be reevaluated in order to support poverty alleviation program.

“…The results of several studies show that fiscal and administrative decentralization can increase the responsiveness of local governments to the provision of public infrastructure (Katos and Sjahrir, 2017). Local governments in Indonesia rely heavily on intergovernmental fiscal transfers, general-purpose grants when properly designed, offering a boost to regional fiscal capacity (Sudhipongpracha and Wongpredee, 2016). Economic imbalances between regions in Indonesia are still relatively high, especially between Java-Bali and other regions outside Java-Bali.…”

Regional autonomy intended to enhance the level of community involvement in the development process, the distribution of development outcomes fairly, and pay more attention to the potential and diversity of the region. The implementation of regional autonomy will further accelerate the achievement of development goals because local governments have the authority to plan programs that are tailored to the needs of the community by taking into account the potential in the area. Development performance is the variable used to measure the results of the development process. This study expects to examine the variables of per capita (GDP) gross regional domestic product with constant prices in 2010, open unemployment rate (%), the poverty rate (%), human development index (HDI), and Gini index. The objectives of the present study, to reveal the effect of intergovernmental transfers on district/municipality development performance in West Java Province, the effect of transfer funds is not directly, but through regional spending. Panel data regression analysis used to analyze the indirect effect of transfer funds on regional development performance. The results show that the general block grants (Dana Alokasi Umum-DAU) is a transfer fund that has the greatest impact on the performance of regional development, while in terms of expenditure, which has the most significant effect on the performance of regional development is education spending followed by spending on goods and services.
