Abstract

This study examines multi-stakeholder collaboration in poverty alleviation efforts in Kendari City, Indonesia. The research aims to analyze forms of collaboration among government, NGOs, academia, private sector, and local communities, highlighting its contribution to governance and welfare policy literature. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and document analysis between January–June 2025. Findings reveal that collaboration is facilitated by local regulations, leadership, and community participation, yet constrained by bureaucratic rigidity, limited funding, and institutional capacity gaps. The study concludes that collaborative governance enhances coordination and innovation in poverty reduction, with implications for strengthening institutional design, transparency, and community-based approaches in local policy
