In response to this, strategic policy issues were formulated to overcome poverty in East Kalimantan, including strengthening the Mitigation Coordination Team Poverty both at the provincial and city levels, development of regional poverty applications based on data from field verification and validation, internalization of the 2025-2029 East Kalimantan RPJMD into regional poverty reduction plan documents (2025-2029) and also mapping of poverty reduction program interventions for 2026.
