The Influence of Key Sectors, Average Years of Schooling, and Labor Force Participation Rate on Poverty in Aceh Province Through Economic Growth

This research explores the potential role of key economic sectors, average schooling duration, and labor force participation rates in reducing poverty in Aceh Province. The study utilizes data from 2016 to 2022 and applies the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method to examine both short-term and long-term relationships between these variables and poverty reduction. The objectives of this study are to identify the impact of these factors on poverty levels and to assess their contribution to economic growth. The research findings indicate that in the long term, leading economic sectors, average schooling duration, and labor force participation positively influence economic growth. However, only average schooling duration significantly affects economic growth in the short term. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that long-term economic growth and labor force participation play a significant role in reducing poverty. In contrast, leading sectors and average schooling duration negatively influence poverty levels. In the short term, economic growth and leading sectors also negatively impact poverty. Moreover, the Sobel test confirms that economic growth mediates the influence of these variables on poverty reduction in the long term. In the short term, only average schooling duration serves as a mediator. The implications of this study highlight the importance of government efforts to develop critical economic sectors, improve the quality of education, and enhance workforce training to stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty in Aceh.

Budget Politics of Aceh Province’s Special Autonomy Fund for Poverty Alleviation

Fifteen years into the implementation of Aceh’s special autonomy, poverty still ranks Aceh the poorest province on the island of Sumatra. The high number and percentage of poverty are due to the budget allocation of the Special Autonomy Fund being allocated to other issues; the allocation of the Poverty Alleviation Special Autonomy Fund over the last five years has not been a priority in the development program in Aceh Province, poverty alleviation being the fourth priority after infrastructure, education and health. This research seeks to discover the factors that become obstacles and ineffectiveness of the Special Autonomy Fund Budget Politics in Poverty Alleviation in Aceh Province. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study as a research strategy. This research uses three data collection techniques: First, documentation in the form of policy documents, papers, journals, or books from previous research. Second, in-depth interviews. Third, observation. Data analysis techniques used in qualitative research include transcribing interview results, data reduction, data analysis and interpretation. Aceh’s failed poverty alleviation was caused by the government’s failure to address its poverty. Factors contributing to poverty in Aceh’s poverty reduction include lack of poverty-related employment, inadequate government support, insufficient infrastructure and income related to prosperity, low human resource income, insufficient political participation, and corruption.

Political Oversight and Intervention in the Policy for the Allocation of the Special Autonomy Fund for Aceh

Problems in planning readiness that have not been optimally arranged in the Master Plan for Utilization of Special Autonomy Fund (DOKA) 2008—2027 are the cause of the difficulty in carrying out an effective supervisory function. In addition, at the level of DOKA allocation at the Provincial to Regency/City levels, it is still full of intervention and domination by ex-members of Free Aceh Movement (GAM), both in the executive and legislative. These two problems are the main factors that hinder the achievement of the goal of the DOKA for the welfare of the Acehnese people. By using a qualitative descriptive research method, this paper aims to unravel the root cause of the DOKA allocation problem that has an impact on the problem of poverty in Aceh. The results of this study conclude that there are two factors that cause problems in the allocation of DOKA, namely supervision and political intervention. The control factor that is not optimal is caused by planning that has not been arranged in detail in the DOKA Master Plan. Meanwhile, the political intervention factor arises from the dominance of ex members of GAM in every DOKA budget planning.

The Problem of Alleviating the Poor in the Special Autonomy Governance of Aceh Province

The issuance of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 18 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for the Province of the Special Region of Aceh as the Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam and Law Number 11 of 2006 concerning the Government of Aceh are the efforts of the central government to improve the welfare of the people in Aceh Province. During the 20 years of the special autonomy, it has not played a significant role in alleviating the people’s poverty in Aceh. The dynamics of local politics, culture, and history, as well as the lack of organizational and managerial capacity at the sub-national and national levels, are suspected as the culprits of the failure of decentralization. The research objective is built on a perspective that refers to three specific aspects, namely the Governance Dynamics Perspective, the Governance Strategy Perspective, and the Governance Capacity Perspective, to analyze the governance of special autonomy in Aceh Province in alleviating the Poor. Through the literature study method, we will dig up a lot of accurate information and data related to the Alleviation of the Poor in the Special Autonomy Governance of Aceh Province. The research results found that the special autonomy going on so far was the designation of political agreements aimed at regional elites, not the general public. Local government administration's ineffective control is also influenced by the exogenous relationship between governance and regional development in alleviating poverty. In summary, the regional government of Aceh Province does not yet understand: (1) the need for supervision involving the community, (2) the absence of a monitoring mechanism so that the community is not affected, (3) local government effectiveness, (4) lack of information facilities, (5) coordination of public apparatus, (6) inefficient and ineffective service delivery, (7) lack of institutional capacity, (8) human resources, (9) the complexity of the central-regional relationship, (10) local elite power struggle, (11) in the Aceh Special Autonomy Law, regional leaders and local political parties have no responsibility or role in improving welfare. This causes (1) the imbalance between the income of the poor and the expenditure on primary and secondary needs, (2) the poor in Aceh cannot meet a decent standard of living due to low skills based on the size of the poverty line, (3) the quality and competence of human resources due to education cause low public participation in public policies, (4) high transaction costs due to limited access, low connectivity between regions, and limited supply of goods, production facilities, and infrastructure, (5) strategically fluctuating basic commodity prices and low regional government control.

The Special Autonomy Funds are not for Poverty Alleviation: A lesson from Aceh's Way

This article is about the Allocation of the Special Autonomy Fund's efforts to combat poverty in Aceh.

Following that, data is analyzed through the methods of display, reduction, and data analysis. The findings indicate that the Aceh Special Autonomy Fund is unable to significantly reduce poverty levels in Aceh. The key point is that the Special Autonomy Fund is not pro-poor budgeting and is failing to address the poverty problem in Aceh.
