Abstract

Poverty remains a complex development challenge in Indonesia, highlighting the need for synergy between economic and social instruments to support poverty alleviation. This study aims to analyze the effects of ZIS-DSKL fund distribution, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita, and social assistance funds on poverty rates during the 2018–2024 period. This study employs an explanatory quantitative approach using panel data regression involving seven selected provinces: DKI Jakarta, East Java, South Sulawesi, West Sumatra, West Nusa Tenggara, Papua, and East Kalimantan, comprising 49 observations. The sample was selected using purposive sampling based on poverty levels, Islamic philanthropy capacity, and regional representation across Western, Central, and Eastern Indonesia. Secondary data were obtained from BAZNAS, BPS (Statistics Indonesia), and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK) of the Ministry of Finance and processed using STATA 17. The estimation results indicate that the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is the most appropriate model based on the Chow and Hausman tests. Partially, ZIS-DSKL fund distribution, GRDP per capita, and social assistance funds have negative effects on poverty rates, while simultaneously, all three variables significantly affect poverty. These findings highlight the importance of integrating Islamic philanthropy, inclusive economic growth, and social protection in Indonesia’s poverty alleviation strategy.
