After serving 10 years as Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo officially stepped down on Tuesday (September 5, 2023). In his farewell speech, Ganjar acknowledged that efforts to alleviate poverty in his region had not yet reached their target.

"We realize that the poverty rate target has not been achieved, but the results show the highest decrease, and also the happiness index because happiness cannot be bought," Ganjar said in his farewell speech at the Jatidiri GOR, Semarang, on Tuesday (September 5, 2023).

In the *Central Java Province Medium-Term Development Plan 2018-2023*, Ganjar targeted a reduction in the poverty rate in his region to the range of 7.48% to 6.48% in 2023.

However, according to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), until March 2023, the poverty rate in Central Java had not yet fallen below 10%.

Although still far from the expected target, the poverty rate in Central Java during Ganjar's leadership has decreased.

In March 2013, Central Java still had approximately 4.73 million poor people. This represented 14.56% of the total population in the province.

Then, in March 2023, the number of poor people decreased to approximately 3.79 million, representing 10.77% of the total population.

This means that during Ganjar's decade of leadership, the number of poor people in Central Java has decreased by approximately 941,000.

The poverty percentage also decreased, although it temporarily increased during the Covid-19 pandemic period from March 2020 to March 2021, as shown in the graph.

The poverty line in Central Java in March 2023 was relatively low. Central Java residents are no longer considered poor if they have a minimum expenditure of Rp477,580 per capita per month.
