Abstract

Poverty alleviation in rural communities is increasingly understood as a multidimensional development agenda that requires both social protection and community empowerment. This article aims to rethink poverty alleviation strategies by emphasizing the transformative potential of empowerment-based approaches in strengthening rural livelihoods and community resilience. Using a secondary data-based qualitative approach, this study analyzes relevant literature, statistical reports, and previous empirical studies on rural poverty reduction and community development. The article argues that sustainable poverty alleviation can be advanced by strengthening local capacity, expanding community participation, diversifying livelihoods, and improving access to education, health services, productive assets, and economic opportunities. Rural communities possess valuable social capital, local knowledge, mutual support systems, and adaptive livelihood practices that can serve as important foundations for inclusive development. Therefore, empowerment-based strategies should position rural communities not only as beneficiaries of development programs, but also as active partners in identifying opportunities, mobilizing local resources, and developing sustainable solutions. The article emphasizes the importance of collaborative governance involving government institutions, local leaders, community groups, civil society, and the private sector. Such collaboration can enhance the effectiveness of poverty alleviation by aligning formal development support with community-based initiatives. The article concludes that an empowerment-oriented model offers a promising pathway for rural poverty reduction because it promotes self-reliance, strengthens social resilience, and supports long-term socioeconomic transformation.

Abstract

Poverty reduction in Indonesia has increasingly moved beyond short-term welfare assistance toward a broader agenda of strengthening local economic resilience. This article examines how Koperasi Merah Putih can be positioned as a strategic local economic institution for supporting poverty resilience in Indonesia. Using a secondary data-based policy analysis, the study explores the relationship between poverty reduction, structural vulnerability, and the role of village-level cooperative institutions in strengthening community economic capacity. The article argues that poverty resilience requires more than declining poverty rates; it depends on the ability of local communities to access productive resources, stabilize household livelihoods, improve market participation, and build collective economic mechanisms that can protect vulnerable groups from future shocks. Koperasi Merah Putih is viewed in this study as a positive institutional innovation that reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening grassroots economic development. Through its potential roles in facilitating access to basic goods, local distribution networks, productive financing, food supply chains, and community-based enterprise development, the cooperative can support a more inclusive and adaptive model of poverty alleviation. The article highlights that the effectiveness of poverty resilience depends on the interaction between local institutional capacity, human development, employment opportunities, digital connectivity, and regional economic structures. By shifting the analytical focus from poverty reduction to poverty resilience, this study contributes to poverty governance literature and offers a policy-relevant framework for understanding how cooperative-based local institutions can strengthen Indonesia’s long-term poverty alleviation agenda.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of a corpus-driven instructional design in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course for Public Administration students. The model, grounded in constructivist learning principles and corpus-based data-driven learning, aims to enhance vocabulary acquisition by engaging students with authentic language data and corpus analysis tools, such as keyword-in-context (KWIC) analysis and collocation exercises. The study employed a qualitative research design, collecting data through semi-structured interviews with 36 second-year students. The findings revealed that students initially faced challenges adapting to corpus tools and data-driven learning but developed positive perceptions after receiving targeted instruction and support. Students reported increased confidence and motivation in their vocabulary learning after engaging with the model. Tailored learning plans, active learning activities, and continuous feedback were perceived as beneficial for vocabulary development. Overall, the instructional design was positively received by students, who appreciated its emphasis on authentic language use, learner autonomy, and personalized instruction. This study contributes to the growing body of research on corpus-based pedagogy in ESP. It offers practical guidance for language educators seeking to enhance vocabulary instruction in specialized fields through the integration of corpus analysis and data-driven learning.

Abstract

Poverty alleviation remains a central public-policy priority in Indonesia even as the official poverty rate continues to decline. This study evaluates recent poverty-alleviation progress and policy architecture using secondary data and documentary analysis. The analysis combines official poverty statistics from BPS-Statistics Indonesia for March 2025, September 2025, and March 2026 with national planning documents, presidential instructions on poverty reduction and the National Socioeconomic Single Data (DTSEN), social-welfare regulations, World Bank assessments, and selected empirical studies of Indonesian social protection. The evaluation focuses on four dimensions: poverty trends, rural–urban disparities, targeting and data integration, and the balance between social assistance and economic empowerment. Results show that the national poverty rate declined from 8.47 percent in March 2025 to 8.07 percent in March 2026, while the number of poor people fell from 23.85 million to 22.93 million. However, rural poverty remained substantially higher than urban poverty, reaching 10.67 percent compared with 6.34 percent in March 2026. At the same time, the Gini ratio increased from 0.363 in September 2025 to 0.368 in March 2026, indicating that poverty reduction and distributional improvement do not necessarily move together. The policy framework has strengthened through the RPJMN 2025–2029, Presidential Instruction No. 8 of 2025, and DTSEN-based targeting reform. Nevertheless, evidence from prior studies shows persistent risks of inclusion and exclusion errors and heterogeneous program effects across regions and socioeconomic groups. The study concludes that effective poverty alleviation requires not only continued social protection, but also accurate targeting, productive inclusion, territorial strategies, and transparent outcome monitoring.

Abstract

Extreme El Niño events are often treated as meteorological or agricultural problems, yet their consequences also test the anticipatory capacity of public administration. This study examines how climate early-warning information was translated into government action during Indonesia's 2026 extreme El Niño episode. Using qualitative secondary-data analysis, the study synthesizes official documents and updates issued by the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG), the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), the Ministry of Agriculture, and other public institutions up to 2 September 2026, together with scholarly and OECD literature on anticipatory governance. The analysis uses six dimensions: foresight and signal detection, policy translation, inter-agency coordination, preventive resource mobilization, local implementation, and monitoring and adaptive learning. The findings show a strong forecasting and warning capacity. BMKG progressively escalated its alerts from a high probability of strong El Niño to confirmed very strong conditions, while government agencies-initiated weather modification, drought preparedness, water distribution, pumping, irrigation optimization, and cross-sector coordination. However, public evidence is substantially stronger for activities and inputs than for integrated outcome measurement. Significant drought and wildfire impacts continued to be reported, and publicly available documents provide limited evidence linking specific warnings, pre-agreed administrative triggers, interventions, and avoided losses. The article therefore identifies a warning-to-action accountability gap: Indonesia demonstrates substantial anticipatory activity, but the institutionalization and public measurement of the full warning-to-action chain remain incomplete. Strengthening trigger-based protocols, interoperable risk data, pre-arranged financing, local implementation indicators, and post-event learning would improve anticipatory governance for future climate extremes.
