PENDEKATAN PEMBANGUNAN DAN PENGENTASAN KEMISKINAN DI PEDESAAN
ABSTRACT: There is no single
term to explain exactly what poverty
is. Some scholars argue that poverty is
only deal with economic aspect, but others have different opinions. Poverty
is multidimensional. Poverty is not just about how much income we have per day,
but it is more complex rather than that. Poor is also like “a lable” that
always follow the rural’s life. Many poverty alleviation programs including in
rural areas have been done, but poverty is still exists. Poverty alleviation
program is not only becomes the government
responsibility. It takes other stakeholders participation, such as rural people
and public sector. Their active participations have colored the rural poverty
alleviation programs and will give positive impact to the success of the
program. The involvement of many
stakeholders in the rural poverty alleviation program as a result of the government policy which correlate to the development
approach. Top down approach as a basis of the development policy makes the people
are almost impossible to get involved on to the program because of the very big
role and power of the government. On the other hand, bottom up approach gives a
greater chance for the people and other stakeholders to participate in the development
program including rural poverty alleviation. The government in some cases still has an
opportunity to get involved but not as a dominant party. The weakness of this
approach is, it needs longer time and process.
