Decree for the List of Extreme Poverty Households

Addressing extreme poverty is a national urgency that requires a systematic and comprehensive approach. The SK Daftar Rumah Tangga Masyarakat Ekstrem di Desa (Decree for the List of Extreme Poverty Households) is the definitive instrument for Systemic Poverty Stratification. This decree formalizes the actual list of residents living in conditions where basic rights—such as food, clean water, sanitation, and health—are not met. By establishing this legal list, the village ensures Data-Driven Inclusivity, creating a roadmap for equitable development that restores the dignity of every citizen.
This decree is the final administrative output of a multi-stage verification process involving the Poverty Coordination Team and the Data Update Team, ensuring that the final list is grounded in reality and legal accuracy.

Calibrating the Global and National Poverty Metrics

To achieve Systemic Poverty Stratification, the village applies rigorous economic benchmarks. Data-Driven Inclusivity is maintained by identifying individuals whose daily living costs fall below the following specific thresholds:

• International Benchmark: Defined as living below USD 1.9 PPP (Purchasing Power Parity). This “absolute poverty measure” ensures consistency across different regions and timeframes.
• National Financial Threshold (BPS 2021): An expenditure limit below Rp 10,739 per person/day or Rp 322,170 per person/month.
• Household Logic: For a family of four (two adults and two children), the extreme poverty status is triggered if the total family expenditure is at or below Rp 1,288,680 per month.

The Strategic Importance of the Household List Decree

Implementing a formal household list decree is a masterclass in Systemic Poverty Stratification. It provides:

• Legal Defense: Protecting the Village Head from disputes by providing a clear, evidence-based list of aid recipients approved through formal stages.
• Targeting Accuracy: Ensuring that village resources, such as BLT-DD or housing repairs, are directed exclusively to the “bottom decile” of the population.
• Inter-Agency Synergy: Providing a verified database that can be shared with Regency or Central government agencies for broader social protection programs.

Conclusion: Data as the Foundation of Justice

In conclusion, the Decree for the List of Extreme Poverty Households is the definitive instrument for Data-Driven Inclusivity and Systemic Poverty Stratification. It transforms an abstract national problem into a manageable local solution. By adhering to the USD 1.9 PPP standard and BPS benchmarks, the village ensures its administration is both scientifically sound and socially just. Accurate data is not just a requirement; it is a commitment to ensuring that no resident is left behind in the journey toward prosperity.
