Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of poverty alleviation policies through the Empowered Gercep Gaskan Program in Palolo District, Sigi Regency. The type of research used is qualitative research using a descriptive type. The location of this research is in 5 villages in Palolo District, Sigi Regency. The focus of this study is to define the policy implementation of the Community Empowerment-Based Poverty Alleviation Rapid Action Program (Gercep Gaskan Berdaya) using the policy implementation theory of Edward III which includes four variables, namely communication, resources, disposition and organizational structure. The data collection techniques used in this study are through interviews, observations and documentation. The results of this study show that the implementation of the Gercep Gaskan Berdaya Program is quite effective because information about the objectives, benefits, and mechanism of the program can be conveyed clearly and can be understood by the community. Furthermore, from the aspect of the availability of human resources, the Village Activity Implementation Team (TPK) and facilitators can carry out their duties well despite the limitations. In terms of budget, the assistance funds to beneficiaries are quite adequate, but the limitations of the operational budget and facilities do not hinder the implementation of the program. The program implementers show a positive attitude, high commitment, and full responsibility to make the program a success. In addition, the existence of a clear division of roles, synergy between parties, and policy integration also supports the achievement of program goals.
