Communication, Poverty, Palopo CityAbstract
The poverty alleviation program in Palopo City involves a wide range of cross-sector stakeholders, including government agencies, legislative bodies, educational institutions, religious organizations, and community leaders. However, the effectiveness of this program often encounters significant challenges, particularly the weak coordination and communication among stakeholders, leading to overlapping initiatives and limited community participation. This study aims to analyze the patterns of communication among stakeholders involved in the implementation of poverty alleviation programs in Palopo City. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with selected informants, including representatives from the Palopo City Government (Regional Development Planning Agency—BAPPEDA, and the Office of Cooperatives, SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises), and Trade), the Palopo City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS), and academic experts in development economics from the State Islamic University of Palopo. The findings reveal that communication among actors occurs through both formal and informal forums. However, several challenges remain, including limited budget capacity, lack of integrated data systems, and minimal involvement of non-governmental institutions. The prevailing communication model is largely sectoral and top-down, which hinders the development of participatory collaboration. This study concludes by emphasizing the need to strengthen cross-sector coordination forums, integrate poverty-related data, increase academic involvement, and foster more inclusive, participatory communication frameworks. Through synergistic communication, the poverty alleviation programs in Palopo City are expected to become more effective, adaptive, and sustainable.
