Poverty is one indicator of an area as the lowest category of regions because poverty is defined as a state of the region where people cannot meet basic needs and do not have access to power. Whereas the area left behind is characterized by 1). Low community potential 2). There is no public access to increase its potential. Various efforts to overcome poverty and underdevelopment have been carried out by the government, especially with empowerment. Empowerment is an effort to increase the power of the community in order to have a prosperous life. One of the Empowerment that will be used in overcoming regional backwardness is empowerment based on a community strength approach or Strength Based Perspective.
