Indicators of People's Welfare: Basic Infrastructure (Book IV)

The government, under SBY-Boediono, set a target to reduce Indonesia's poverty rate to between 8 and 10 percent by the end of 2014. To achieve this goal, the government implemented poverty alleviation efforts in three clusters. The first cluster centres on family-based poverty alleviation programmes, such as health and educational assistance, as well as the Family Hope Programme (Program Keluarga Harapan, or PKH). The second cluster consists of community empowerment-based poverty alleviation programmes, such as PNPM Mandiri. The third cluster consists of poverty alleviation programmes targeting small and micro enterprises.

"Indicators of People's Welfare - Book 4: Basic Infrastructure" describes in detail the indicators relating to basic infrastructural needs, its conditions and availability as a measure of wellbeing in each province and district/city. This book details the conditions in each district with regard to the welfare state, particularly in basic infrastructure.

Thanks to all those who have helped in the preparation of the book. Hopefully, this book can be used to improve the welfare and accelerate poverty reduction.
