Abstract

Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics in 2018, the poverty rate in Samosir Regency is at 13.38%. The main strategy of poverty reduction efforts in Samosir Regency is directed to reduce the poverty rate or the number of poor people. The agricultural sector continues to absorb the highest number of farmers, reaching 59.70% in 2018. However, the efforts made by related parties, especially the government, have not been able to reduce the poverty rate to the predetermined target. On the other hand, in relation to poverty alleviation issues, all the parties agree on the importance of establishing a partnership system, both coordination and collaboration between government, local government, community, non-governmental organizations, social organizations, business and other relevant agencies.

Sources of data were obtained from in-depth interviews, field observations and supporting secondary data. Poor population database was never verified and validation began in 2016. The process of updating the database by Samosir Regency was performed in 2018, after the Ministry launched the Social Applications Social Welfare Information Systems-Next Generation, this has resulted in social assistance being not on target
