Abstract

Poverty remains a significant and persistent challenge for Central Buton Regency, with various issues hindering the effectiveness of poverty reduction programs. This activity aimed to assist the Government of Central Buton Regency in preparing the 2024 Regional Poverty Reduction Implementation Report (LP2KD), as mandated by Presidential Instruction of the Republic of Indonesia Number 4 of 2022 and Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 53 of 2020. The implementation method involved initial coordination (kick-off meeting), observation of data needs, and Focused Group Discussions (FGD) with Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) to identify the root causes of poverty. The main outcome of this activity was the completion of the 2024 Regional Poverty Reduction Implementation Report (LP2KD) for Central Buton Regency. This report presents a comprehensive analysis of poverty conditions, identifies existing problems, and provides practical recommendations for the formulation of more effective and targeted poverty reduction policies.

Abstract

The limited capacity for gender-perspective legal advocacy among young women activists hinders the struggle for women's rights at the local level. The "Women’s Advocacy School" program in Baubau City aims to strengthen legal literacy, advocacy techniques, and collaborative cross-organizational networking. Employing a participatory community development approach, the program included intensive training focused on women’s legal standing, issue analysis, and public communication. The results demonstrated a significant increase in participants' conceptual understanding and self-confidence. Participation dynamics improved markedly, evidenced by critical interactions in forums, with 27% of participants actively engaging as inquisitors and 7% as reflective respondents to complex issues. This success confirms that structured advocacy education models can effectively transform young activists into competent agents of change. The program recommends sustained institutional support to replicate this model and broaden the impact of gender advocacy regionally.
