Disharmonization of governance of public policy implementation in poverty reduction

Poverty is a global challenge despite various public policies aimed at poverty reduction. Public policy products by the government should be able to overcome the problem of poverty (Cui et al., 2023), but the decline in the number of poor people is not directly proportional, causing the emergence of new social problems. This research aims to reveal disharmony in the implementation of public policies to alleviate poverty. The method uses descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Research findings show that poverty cannot be solved simply by abundant resources. The efforts made by the government so far have not been able to address the basic problems. This research contributes to proposing a new concept that is adapted to the local government context through the harmonization of poverty reduction policies by harmonizing formal and traditional systems and the involvement of various parties to optimize services (Howes et al., 2021). The conclusions of the study results can be used as reference material for the government to increase the effectiveness of policies in alleviating poverty. The relevance of the findings provides a new offer regarding the implementation of poverty reduction policies based on regional social characteristics.
