Conceptual Model Implementation of Poverty Reduction Policy in Medan City

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the conceptual model implementation of poverty reduction policy in Medan city. This type of research uses qualitative methods. The paradigm in this qualitative research is constructivism. This means that individuals construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world also construct reality in accordance with the results of the construction of the individuals studied. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach. The results of this study found that Medan City Government and stakeholders have not optimally carried out their roles and functions and have been unable to formulate an effective poverty alleviation policy model so that the average percentage of the poverty rate in Medan City exceeds the national average poverty rate. The poverty alleviation policy model cannot be carried out without first mapping the potential and targets of the poor. to measure the performance of policy implementation must emphasize specific standards and targets that must be achieved by policy implementers because policy performance is basically an assessment of the level of achievement of these standards and targets. Poverty reduction in the city of Medan has not been able to meet the standards set by the regulations, but on the other hand, the policy objectives can already be felt by the community.
