Poverty Reduction Strategy: Towards Evaluation of Equitable Prosperity in Indonesia

Abstract

Poverty is one of the biggest social problems facing Indonesia. Although efforts to reduce poverty have been made for years, the challenge of achieving equitable prosperity for all levels of society is still very large. This journal aims to explore various strategies that can be applied to alleviate poverty in Indonesia, with a focus on approaches based on community empowerment, access to education, skills training, and local economic development. Based on various community service initiatives that have been carried out, this study shows that poverty alleviation requires collaboration between the government, the private sector, and the community to create sustainable solutions. Through community empowerment, improving the quality of education, and developing micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM), poverty can be reduced significantly and prosperity can be achieved more evenly.
