Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and influence of the Family Hope Program and Non-Cash Food Assistance on poverty levels in West Sulawesi Province. This study used a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The Family Hope Program and Non-Cash Food Assistance have been implemented effectively because they can meet food needs while increasing access to health and education services for the underprivileged. The Family Hope Program and Non-Cash Food Assistance significantly influence poverty levels in West Sulawesi Province. The results of the correlation test between the number of beneficiaries and the total budget on the poverty level produced values of -0.53 and -0.741, indicating that increasing the number of beneficiaries and the total budget in the Family Hope Program and Non-Cash Food Assistance can reduce poverty rates in West Sulawesi Province.

Abstract

The 2024 election in North Toraja Regency reflects local democracy still dominated by patronage practices, bureaucratic involvement, and money politics. This study employs a qualitative case study approach to analyze how bureaucracy functions not as a neutral instrument but as a political tool for elites, and how money politics is legitimized by society as part of economic rationality and cultural norms. Using Marxism, Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, and voter behavior theories (rational choice and patron–client), this research finds that local democracy in North Toraja represents elite power reproduction rather than substantive popular participation. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions reveal that kinship ties, campaign promises, and money politics are key determinants of voter behavior. The study concludes that elections in North Toraja remain an arena of capital and patronage contestation, with bureaucracy and money politics serving as instruments of elite hegemony. It recommends bureaucratic reform, voter political education, and law enforcement against money politics to improve the quality of local democracy.
