Poverty Alleviation Efforts through MDG’s and Economic Resources in Indonesia

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine and provide guidelines for regional governments, communities, and the private sector in planning and implementing poverty-reduction activities that are more effective, efficient, and targeted. Besides, this research's specific aims are: 1) increasing the rate of regional economic growth through optimization of potential sources of local income, 2) increasing per-capita income, and 3) reducing poverty, unemployment, and social-economic inequality of the community. The study was conducted in North Morowali District, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, in 2018-2019. The research approach used quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. Data sources include sources from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Regional Statistics. The results of this study are based on the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) indicators that there are four priority scales in poverty reduction, namely, Health and Infrastructure (Priority I), Education (Priority II), Food stability (Priority III), and Population and Employment (Priority IV). Therefore, as a solution to poverty alleviation strategies, the cost approach through regional economic optimization and local income sources and community empowerment factors are essential. Apart from that, the involvement between elements (government, organizations, society, universities, and institutions) is expected to continue as an effort to realize poverty reduction can be optimally overcome.

Community-Based Empowerment: Semi-Systematic Literature Review (SSLR)

“…A semi-systematic literature review (SSLR) is a synthesis of multidimensional topics that allows researchers to map themes, theoretical approaches, and commonalities that are limited by the scope of the review objectives (Omazic & Zunk, 2021;Synder, 2019;Tranfield et al, 2003). Group Discussion (FGD) (Laurens & Putra, 2020), Geographic Information System -ATLAS.ti-MACTOR (Mafruhah et al, 2020), descriptive (Erbaugh, 2019), Loqation Quotion -SWOT -Trend -Analysis of Community Economic Empowerment in the agricultural subsector (Cahyono et al, 2018). The case studies studied were in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (Rachmawatie et al, 2020), Rawa Danau-Banten (Sjaifuddin, 2020), Indonesia (Dahliah et al, 2020;Erbaugh, 2019)Ponggok Village-Central Java Province (Purnomo et al, 2020), Central Java (Anwar et al, 2019Mafruhah et al, 2020), North Morowali Regency-Central Sulawesi Province (Laurens & Putra, 2020), Lumajang district (Cahyono et al, 2018), Banjarbaru-South Kalimantan (Nuzuli et al, 2015), Malaysia and Indonesia (Zainudin & Kamarudin, 2015).…”

Performance Evaluation of Precision Poverty Alleviation with the Assistance of Wireless Communication Technology for Rural Revitalization

“…Performance Evaluation Model Based on SVM. Rough set can reason about information, explore the hidden data, and discover the deep law of the information [11]. This is a mathematical tool through soft computing, which can effectively classify and process the fuzzy data [12].…”

Budget Accountability in The Perspective of Habermas Communicative Action Theory

“…Still, the APBN/APBD is not understood as an ideological instrument to bring the state's goals closer as a constitutional mandate. The macroeconomic assumptions made are based on narrow goals but ignore the spirit of social justice, such as aspects of income inequality (Olilingo & Putra, 2020;Laurens & Putra, 2020).…”
