Abstract

This article examines the legal and governance dimensions of innovative poverty reduction strategies in Indonesia, emphasizing their alignment with corporate law and governance principles. Utilizing a comprehensive literature review and case study analysis, the research evaluates key policy instruments, such as social safety nets, targeted financial assistance, and public service initiatives, within the framework of Indonesia’s administrative and regulatory systems. The study examines how these policies address macroeconomic challenges and enhance governance structures to promote accountability, transparency, and legal protection for vulnerable populations. Special attention is given to the intersection between public policy and corporate governance, particularly in terms of resource allocation, regulatory compliance, and the role of state institutions in fostering equitable socioeconomic development. Consistent with the perspectives of Suryono (2020) and Hadad (2018), the findings demonstrate that effective poverty alleviation depends not only on innovative policy design but also on the legal infrastructure supporting its implementation. This research contributes to the discourse on governance and development by offering recommendations for policymakers and legal scholars to enhance the institutional coherence of poverty reduction efforts in Indonesia.
