Upaya Menurunkan Tingkat Kemiskinan Melalui Peningkatan Kapasitas Kelompok Masyarakat Di Kabupaten Lombok Barat Propinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat

Abstract

The poverty reduction strategy is a priority strategy for every local government in Indonesia today with the aim of accelerating poverty alleviation towards a prosperous society. West Nusa Tenggara Province isone of the provinces whose poverty rates are still above the national average, so that various efforts to accelerate poverty alleviation are needed in order to catch up with other regions. This research is conducted on 3 community groups, namely farmers' community groups, fishermen community groups, and crafters community groups in 3 different villages in West Lombok, by conducting a SWOT analysis in order to find the right strategy to accelerate poverty alleviation, especially in the district of West Lombok.The results of the study found that strategies are needed to overcome the weaknesses that exist in community groups, to get opportunities for community empowerment that exists. Programs that need to be carried out are group capacity building programs through mentoring to get empowerment programs by the government, group capacity building programs to gain banking access to increase group venture capital,and community group institutional strengthening programs by making the community groups as cooperatives with legal entities to facilitate the government in providing guidance and distribution of productive revolvingfunds to members

Policy Design for Extreme Poverty Alleviation in West Lombok Regency

“…The extreme poverty alleviation policy is designed to increase community capacity such as empowering the poor (Tambunan, 2012), strengthening community institutions and supporting venture capital (Artika et al, 2020;Haliim, 2016;Sudipa & Nurjani, 2021), as well as efforts to develop community entrepreneurship (Sudipa & Nurjani, 2021;Wahyudi et al, 2022). The implementation of poverty policies is carried out through coordination (Murjani, 2018;Sudipa & Nurjani, 2021), so that sustainable programs will be created by involving elements from the public, government and private sector (Rizayani et al, 2022).…”

The Influence of Socio-Economic Factors on Poverty in Bali Province

“…The development efforts and programs that have been implemented so far have made a major contribution to alleviating the problem of poverty. Even though currently poverty is still a priority problem that has not been resolved (Margareni, et al, 2016;Artika, et al, 2020).Di tingkat nasional atau regional, kemiskinan sudah menjadi masalah yang kompleks dan kronis, tentunya masalah ini memerlukan strategi yang tepat dan berkelanjutan untuk mengatasinya. Masyarakat miskin juga dapat dikatakan mereka yang tidak memiliki tempat tinggal, kekurangan pangan, memiliki kesehatan yang buruk, dan penghasilan yang tidak mencukupi kebutuhannya.…”
