Abstract

A policy becomes a key in development management from central, regional and village
level. The policy as a reference towards development management. Rural areas have
become the government’s priority in pushing the acceleration of poverty alleviation. It
is because the highest poverty base is still found in rural areas. The Data of National
Statistical Central Burau indicates that the poverty level in rural areas is 12.5%.
Various policy products and empowerment activities performed in the area are aimed to
strengthen the capacity, push development and alleviate poverty. However, many policies
are unable to answer issues which occur in societies. Therefore, the continuity of policy
that has existed in Kalurahan Dadapayu Semanu should be reviewed. The analysis
result indicates that Human resource obstacle has become an obstacle that influences
the process of policy making. Empowerment activities which are still performed focus
on the activities themselves but there has not been an analysis towards activity from
upstream to downstream. It is also caused by the weak evaluation performed towards
the policy products in Kalurahan Dadapayu.
