| dc.description.abstract | Poverty remains a serious problem in small islands area spreaded throughout Indonesia;
some of them are on the border with other countries. The problem occurs as a result of a
lack of management of natural resources, low of education level because it is far for
going to school, far from decision-maker access, limited access to capital, science,
technology and telecommunications, market and political support. The other problems
are inequalities of income and development between urban and rural areas and the gap
between the wealt and the poor. Ministry of Social Affairs takes responsibility to handle
poverty alliviation by providing stimulantly Productive Economic Business (UEP).
Based on the results of focus group discussion conducted with SKPD Nunukan and
Sumenep are resulted some recommendations, namely; a) need for socialization and
education about Productive Economic Business Program (UEP) with the orientation of
the local natural resources management based on local livelihoods and prepare the
marketing system for the product; b) need for further training to the community target
program of marine, agricultural and plantation products (processing and packaging the
product); and c) required further training for facilitators about knowledge and skills of
processing and marketing of products, and need to coordinate between the Ministry of
Social Affair and community institutions. The development of local initiatives in
community-based poverty alliviation through sustainable livelihood in Border Areas
and Small Islands successfully developed based on three practical components, namely;
a) Socioeconomic Mapping; b) Empowerment through UEP; an c) UEP marketing and
distribution product mechanism of the benefit receiver via E-Warong. This model can
be used as a policy formulation on poverty alliviation based on local initiatives through
sustainable livelihood in the border area and small islands. | en_US |
