Strategi pemberdayaan berbasis vocational skill pada perempuan miskin di perbatasan Entikong (Indonesia-Malaysia)

Abstract

This Paper describes the poverty of women at the border of Entikong. The reality of poverty in rural women (border areas) today is still in severe situations. There has been no significance of the welfare development of the community, that in fact there are still many poor women's lives in the country boundary region. It is concluded that the community development program on the border is still loaded with interest and is vulnerable to being politicized by the elites, as a result the development of society is not up to the target. Method of research uses the feminist ethnographic approach as a stand point that research about women comes from a female's own perspective. The data collection techniques are observations, in-depth interviews, documentation studies, and live-in with the community to obtain precise and accurate information. The poverty of women on the border is due to women's limited access to resources. Then, on this paper the empowerment-based vocational skills become a strategic bid in the poverty-alleviation of women at the border.

The Effect of Environmental Factors to the Local Government Public Services at the Border Region

“…The development of BDC area is intended as a center of industrial activities, services and trade, as well as an integrated and independent training and labor service center managed by a professional institution equipped with adequate facilities and infrastructure (Laporan Pemerintah Kecamatan Entikong, 2010).

This is not only the case in Entikong region, but the border area in West Kalimantan in general (Niko, 2020;Rupita, 2020).…”

Community Empowerment as a Form of Community Social Resilience Facing the Impact of Covid-19

“…With regard to human development, basically the concepts of development should be based on capability or capability or empowerment, which contains special elements such as the ability to fulfill basic livelihood needs in the household (Sen, 1992). Niko (2020) states that there is a need for a change in the development paradigm of the poor, for example by providing training or empowerment based on sharpening skills (ability) to empower. Then, economic problems that usually occur in general rural communities are experienced by people in various rural areas in Indonesia.…”

“…Likewise in the case of community development in villages, community development should see the activeness of local communities who are both the subject and the object of development (Proefschrift, 1974;Khan & Khandaker, 2016). In other words, community participation in empowerment programs must be considered as an evaluation of the failure and success of a program (see also Tika, Hanafi, & Riyanto, 2017;Niko, 2020).…”
