Multidimensional Strategies for Eradicating Poverty: Localizing SDG 1 in Indonesia

Abstract

This study explores multidimensional strategies for eradicating poverty across Indonesia in pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty). Using a qualitative framework grounded in the Capability Approach and Islamic economic principles, the research analyzes regional development policies, sharia-based microfinance, and digital governance innovations. Findings reveal that while national programs have reduced poverty in aggregate, multidimensional and localized deprivations persist, especially in rural and eastern provinces. Sharia-compliant microfinance institutions offer ethical and socially integrated financial services that enhance inclusion. Additionally, digital platforms—particularly for zakat distribution and poverty mapping—enable real-time, transparent governance that supports decentralization. The study proposes an integrative model combining capabilities, ethics, and technology to effectively localize SDG 1 in Indonesia. The findings inform both theoretical frameworks and practical policy design for more inclusive and sustainable poverty eradication strategies.
