EFFECTIVENESS OF POVERTY MANAGEMENT BASED ON LOCAL POTENTIAL IN PAPUA PEOPLE

Abstract

This type of qualitative research through phenomenological shorthand, as for the results of the study
show that , community empowerment largely determines the reduction of poverty. This means that the better
the community empowerment, the better the poverty reduction will be followed. And vice versa, the worse
the community empowerment, the worse it will be followed by the worse the poverty reduction. New concepts
that can be raised and developed in complementing the dimensions of community empowerment in poverty
reduction can be successful if supported by a bottom-up approach by taking into account the initiatives and
aspirations of the community. So community empowerment does not start at the stage of the implementation
process alone, but also begins at the planning stage of the program. This paradigm is called community
empowerment into an independent and aspirational society. That is, it is the community that plans, implements
and supervises the running of a government program for the benefit of the community concerned.
