“…The second principle in poverty alleviation is to improve access of poor communities to essential services. Access to education services (Fahrudin & Yusuf, 2016), healthy (Aspinall, 2014), clean water and sanitation (Patunru, 2015), and food and nutrition will help reduce the costs that must be incurred by the poor (Warr, 2005). One of the most important forms of increasing access to basic services for the poor is increasing access to education (Wedgwood, 2007;Hayman, 2007;Aref, 2011).…”

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.

This study explores the relevance of microfinance to social work in India, Indonesia, and the United States. Interviews with microfinance practitioners and social work educators and a comparison of the Master of Social Work (MSW) curricula in these countries identified the values, skills, and educational opportunities shared between the two fields. Microfinance resonates with core social work values and benefits from social work skills such as holistic assessment, interpersonal and group skills, and community organizing. Although the connection was most evident in India, microfinance has potential to be further engaged in social work profession and education in other countries.
