Summary

Introduction

The Government of Indonesia realizes that national development is one of the efforts to become the goal of a just and prosperous society. In line with this goal, various development activities have been directed towards regional development, especially regions that have relatively increased poverty from year to year. Regional development is carried out in an integrated and sustainable manner according to the priorities and needs of each region with roots and national development targets that have been established through long-term and short-term development. One of the main indicators of the success of national development is the rate of decline in the number of poor people. Poverty is one of the problems that always arises in people's lives. The implications of the problem of poverty can involve all aspects of human life, their presence is often not realized by the human being concerned (Ridzky, 2018)
