Strategi Pemerintah Daerah Dalam Penanggulangan Kemiskinan di Kabupaten Cirebon Melalui Kelompok Usaha Bersama (KUBE) Tahun 2023 (Local Government Strategy In Poverty Alleviation In Cirebon Regency Through Community Based Enterprise Groups (KUBE) In 2023)

Abstrak

This research was motivated by the issue of providing economic development assistance to KUBE, which is one of the efforts of the Cirebon Regency local government to overcome poverty. Assistance for KUBE, which should be cultivated and managed collectively, has not been implemented as it should be. The theory used is Geoff Mulgan's (2009) theory of government strategy based on five stages: purposes, environments, directions, actions, and learning. The research employs a qualitative research method with data sourced from literature reviews and field studies through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research findings indicate that in the purposes stage, although the objectives originated from community realities, they have not been achieved. In the environments stage, community mindset has become a barrier to the program. In the directions stage, the implementation of strategies was not accompanied by clear socialization and guidance. In the actions stage, implementation faced challenges such as member participation, lack of communication, the absence of institutional structure and capacity in the village, and budget allocation limitations. Finally, in the learning stage, the local government did not follow up on the evaluation of the provision of special assistance for KUBE. Abstrak Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh permasalahan pemberian bantuan pengembangan ekonomi kepada KUBE yang menjadi salah satu upaya pemerintah daerah Kabupaten Cirebon untuk mengatasi permasalahan kemiskinan. Bantuan untuk KUBE yang seharusnya dibudidayakan dan dikelola secara kolektif ternyata tidak terlaksana sebagaimana mestinya.

Penelitian menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan data yang bersumber dari hasil penelitian melalui studi kepustakaan dan studi lapangan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada tahapan purposes, meskipun tujuan lahir dari realitas masyarakat, tetapi tujuan belum tercapai.
