Synergy Between Regional Parliament and Local Government in Realizing Poverty Alleviation Policy: A Case Study in Disadvantaged Regions in Indonesia

Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of synergy between Regional Parliament (DPRD) and Local Government (Pemda) in implementing poverty alleviation policies in Indonesia's disadvantaged regions. Using a qualitative approach with multiple-site case studies across five disadvantaged districts, this study analyzes factors affecting successful inter-institutional coordination in policy formulation and implementation. Results indicate that vision alignment, effective communication, clear role distribution, and strong leadership are key determinants of successful poverty alleviation programs. The research identifies both supporting and inhibiting factors in institutional synergy, including political will, resource availability, monitoring systems, and cultural dynamics. This study provides comprehensive recommendations for institutional strengthening and improving coordination capacity between DPRD and Local Government in poverty alleviation efforts in disadvantaged regions.
