Poverty is one of the long-lasting problems in Indonesia, including in Central Java as an area with a high percentage of poverty. Efforts to reduce poverty have been carried out through various policies, including the legalization of the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 42 of 2010 concerning the Provincial and District / City Poverty Reduction Coordination Teams. This study took a sample of three regions in Java, namely Brebes Regency, Tegal Regency, and Semarang City. Policies have been present in alleviating poverty in Central Java, including Central Java Governor Regulation No. 60 of 2019 concerning the Regional Poverty Reduction Strategy of Central Java Province, but in reality, this policy has not been optimally implemented so that there is a need for policy reconstruction in alleviating poverty. This study uses a juridical-empirical method approach with data sources, namely primary data and secondary data. The data analysis used was a descriptive-analytical method. The results of the research and discussion in this study indicate that the causes of poverty alleviation policies have not been optimal because one of them is the formulation of regional policies in poverty alleviation which are still Top-Down, the overlaps of authority between each Regional Financial Management Reports (SKPD) in various region in Indonesia and low participation of third parties, especially the business world in poverty alleviation programs. In order for Indonesian people to prosper, efforts to do a law reconstruction is needed by improving the substance of policies related to poverty alleviation in the regions, especially in Central Java. This is done so that poverty alleviation programs in Central Java can benefit the community as a whole.
