2018

Abstraksi

Budget is a crucial instrument in poverty alleviation. The right policy in budget allocation will reduce poverty rate. However, the involvement of DPRD in budgeting is often a counter-productive as in the process of budget discussions most of them are not qualified and have different agenda that are full of self-interest, which result in a delay of budget determination. Several times the determination of budget of local government in Aceh has been delayed as a result of no agreement between the executive and the legislature on the budget allocation. Also, abundant financial resources of Aceh, one of which from special autonomy (Otsus) has no positive correlation to poverty allevation. Aceh poverty rate is still among the highest in Sumatra. This paper aims to analyze in depth how the role and contribution of legislative members in local budgeting and its impact on poverty reduction in Aceh that has special autonomy status.
