Abstract

The recent enhancement in poverty has occurred because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government designed several policies to protect vulnerable populations and reduce poverty. One policy was the social safety net program (SSN). The effectiveness of the SSN program in reducing poverty contains academic debates. On the one hand, the research results showed no influence of the SSN on poverty reduction. So this study aims to analyze poverty in the Tabalong Regency. This research used primary data. Binomial Logistics Regression was employed in the analysis. Model testing included control variables represented by the number of household members, age, gender, education, and occupation of the primary household member. Simultaneous model testing results showed that the SSN program affected poverty in Tabalong Regency. Partially model testing results showed that not all SSN programs affect poverty in Tabalong Regency. Only the SSN program of Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance and Regional Government Routine Social Assistance involved poverty. In addition, the control variables also affected the chances of a household being poor or not poor, except for the age variable. The odds ratio value meant that households receiving these two programs had 0.283 and 0.370 times the probability of being not poor.

Abstract

To be able to achieve its objectives, a policy requires effectiveness prerequisites for which an analysis of the effectiveness of the KLA policy is carried out and the determinants/factors that support and hinder itimplementation of the KLA policy.The research method used is researchqualitative descriptive, using public policy theory Matland, (1995) and other relevant theories. ProcessData collection was carried out by in-depth interviews with research informants, observation and documentation, while the stages of the processing/analysis process were editing data, presenting data and interpreting data. The results of the study concluded that the implementation of the KLA policy in North Lampung Regency has not been fully effective, it can be seen from the results of the research KLA policy as a child-based development system has not been able to fully transform KHA, integrate the commitment of Government and non-Government resources in a comprehensive and sustainable way. The strategic recommendation in the research is for policy authorities to1) optimize the integration of Government and non-Government commitments and resources, 2) carry outreviewlocal government policies/regulations, 3) carry out communication, socializationand policy publications, 4) implement community empowerment efforts, 4) increase the competence of KHA in policy implementers, focus on allocating the budget for implementing KLA policies and seeking alternative sources of financing.
