Abstract: In the early twentieth century copra became one of the important export commodities in the Netherlands Indies. World demand was increasing along with the development of technology for its processing. Coconut products were not only for export but also for the interests of domestic industry. The increasing world demand for copra has consequences on the rise in commodity prices. But the rising standards of living of the coconut farmers were not comparable with the rising prices of coconut products in international markets. In the trade network, the middleman was the most widely reap the benefits. Coconut farmers are exploited by various bonding systems such as contracts, lien system, and retainer system.

Abstract

Introduction/Main Objectives: In order to achieve target 1.1 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), i.e., to end extreme poverty by 2030, the Indonesian Government encourages the distribution of social assistance as one of the main programs. Background Problems: There are several issues related to the distribution of social assistance that impact the effectiveness of this program. This study aims to investigate the challenges and evaluate possible solutions for the effectiveness of social assistance distribution. Novelty: This study proposes alternative solutions to improve the effectiveness of social assistance distribution in Indonesia. Research Methods: This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach and SOAR analysis (strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results). The data have been obtained from a literature review and focus group discussions. Finding/Results: The results of the analysis identify three problems, namely (i) inaccuracy of the target beneficiary data, (ii) absence of formed cooperative between stakeholders in the distribution process, and (iii) the amount of cash in the social assistance has not been able to meet the cost of living in several regions in Indonesia. Solutions that can be used to overcome these problems are (1) updating the data and improving the accuracy of targeting of social assistance, (2) strengthening the synergy of the social assistance program organized by government, (3) an adjustment, carried out by local governments, of the value of social assistance benefits, and (4) strengthening the supervision of the social assistance distribution process. Conclusion: The alternative solutions above are "tactical" approaches that need to be employed by the government to increase the effectiveness of social assistance distribution to alleviate extreme poverty.
