The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a surge in poverty rates in Bogor City over the past three years, according to data from the Statistics Indonesia (BPS) (2023). The poverty rate in Bogor City increased from 6.68% in 2020 to 7.24% in 2021. The number of people living in extreme poverty in the city also rose from 13,590 in 2021 to 14,450 in 2022. In response to this situation, the government has designated Bogor as a priority location for accelerating the eradication of extreme poverty in 2024.
The initial step in this endeavor is to develop the Bogor City Regional Poverty Reduction Plan (RPKD). The RPKD serves as a holistic guide in translating the national poverty reduction strategy into the local context of the city. The RPKD also plays a crucial role in enhancing the synergy and effectiveness of poverty reduction programs that have been implemented in Bogor.
The City’s RPKD outlines the current state of poverty in the region and presents an annual action plan to address it. SMERU provides technical assistance to the Bogor City Government (Pemkot) in preparing the RPKD, including document reviews, quantitative analysis, and qualitative analysis.
