ABSTRACT: Poverty reduction based on the theory of its effects has been carried out
but the results seemed futile. In general, the rural poverty is due to limited natural resources, dysfunctional cultural values,
and structural policy which cannot support the poverty reduction. Most of the
people in Lumoli (92.67%), one of the
villages in Maluku, are categorized poor and very poor. There is abundant sago
and worthy cultural value but the research shows that the people are not
capable enough to utilize these resources. By improving their skills, however,
the poverty in Lumoli can be reduced
and their future living is expected to be better.
