Abstract

This research aims to measure efficiency of local government spending in poverty alleviation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sumatra, Indonesia. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was applied as a measurement efficiency method with output-oriented based on variable returns to scale approach.The type of data used in this study is secondary data and implements explanatory analysis. The object of our observation in this study involves total local governments in Sumatra (154 regencies/cities). It used government education spending per capita, health spending per capita, economic spending per capita, and social security spending per capita as input. The Output that we used is the poverty rate. The results show that poverty alleviation through government spending efficiency policy only can achieve by eight local governments, i.e.Deli Serdang, Simalungun, Medan, Sawah Lunto, Pekan Baru, Lampung Tengah, Bangka Barat, and Batam. Pekan Baru is the relatively most efficient regency, while Meranti has the lowest efficiency. 146 inefficient local governments should benchmark to their peer to improve their efficiency score. In addition, differences in the level of efficiency between local governments within one province also need to be inspected.

Abstract

Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) play a vital role in promoting rural economic development; however, many business owners continue to face challenges related to entrepreneurial competencies and digital technology adoption. This community service program aimed to enhance the competitiveness of MSE owners in Sri Kuncoro Village through an Integrated Entrepreneurship Education and Digital Literacy (IEEDL) model. The program adopted a Participatory Action Learning approach involving 25 MSE owners and was implemented through four stages: needs assessment, integrated training, business mentoring, and program evaluation. Program effectiveness was assessed using pre-test and post-test instruments, participant observations, and satisfaction questionnaires. The results demonstrated substantial improvements in participants' competencies in business planning, financial management, digital literacy, and digital marketing, with the highest gain observed in marketplace utilization. Participants also reported a high level of satisfaction with the training, while observation findings indicated active engagement throughout the learning activities. The integration of entrepreneurship education with practical digital literacy training, supported by continuous mentoring, proved effective in facilitating the adoption of digital business practices among rural entrepreneurs. This program contributes by introducing the Integrated Entrepreneurship Education and Digital Literacy (IEEDL) model as a practical and replicable framework for strengthening the competitiveness of rural MSEs and supporting sustainable local economic development.

Abstract

The efficiency of infrastructure spending is an important issue in fiscal decentralization because increased budgets do not always result in comparable welfare. This study evaluates the relative efficiency of local governments in converting two groups of infrastructure expenditure (phisycal special allocation funds for roads and drinking water; and capital expenditure on roads, irrigation, and networks) into welfare outcomes measured by the number of non-poor residents. With the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach, the study identified relative efficiency, benchmarks, and input adjustment needs between regions. The results show a noticeable heterogeneity of efficiency. Bengkulu Tengah lies on the estimated efficiency frontier and serves as a benchmark for other local governments within the observed sample, while Seluma and Bengkulu Selatan show a more persistent gap. The findings indicate that the benefits of spending are not only determined by the size of the budget, but also by the suitability of the type and allocation of infrastructure with the needs and economic structure of the region. Fiscal policy needs to be directed towards spending that is more targeted, integrated, and oriented towards community welfare outcomes. Keywords :  Public Infrastructure Expenditure Efficiency, Poverty Alleviation, Fiscal Desentralization, Local Government   Abstrak Efisiensi belanja infrastruktur merupakan isu penting dalam desentralisasi fiskal karena peningkatan anggaran tidak selalu menghasilkan peningkatan kesejahteraan yang sebanding. Penelitian ini mengevaluasi efisiensi relatif pemerintah daerah dalam mengubah dua kelompok belanja infrastruktur (dana alokasi khusus fisik untuk jalan dan air minum; serta belanja modal untuk jalan, irigasi, dan jaringan) menjadi hasil kesejahteraan yang diukur berdasarkan jumlah penduduk non-miskin. Dengan pendekatan Analisis Envelope Data (DEA), penelitian ini mengidentifikasi efisiensi relatif, tolok ukur, dan kebutuhan penyesuaian input antarwilayah. Hasilnya menunjukkan heterogenitas efisiensi yang cukup mencolok. Bengkulu Tengah berada pada garis batas efisiensi yang diperkirakan dan berfungsi sebagai tolok ukur bagi pemerintah daerah lain dalam sampel yang diamati, sementara Seluma dan Bengkulu Selatan menunjukkan kesenjangan yang lebih persisten. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa manfaat pengeluaran tidak hanya ditentukan oleh besarnya anggaran, tetapi juga oleh kesesuaian jenis dan alokasi infrastruktur dengan kebutuhan serta struktur ekonomi wilayah. Kebijakan fiskal perlu diarahkan pada pengeluaran yang lebih terarah, terintegrasi, dan berorientasi pada hasil kesejahteraan masyarakat.
