Abstract

The village legislation has placed the village as the spearhead of development and improvement of social welfare. Villages are given adequate authority and funding sources to manage their potential to improve the economy and community welfare. The research objective is to analyze the influence of village funds on poverty in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This research uses secondary data from panel data, namely Village Fund, Poverty, and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) data from regencies and cities in Aceh Province, Indonesia, from 2010 to 2018. These data are sourced from the Statistics Indonesia (BPS). This research uses a qualitative descriptive analysis model and panel data analysis. Regression analysis in this study uses static panel data. The variable village funds in this research influence poverty reduction in districts and cities in Aceh Province. However, the effect is not too significant because the exertion of village funds is not yet on target, as village funds are widely used for infrastructure construction.
