Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implikasi dari alokasi anggaran dana otonomi khusus selama periode 2008-2021 terhadap sektor-sektor vital, yaitu pendidikan, kesehatan, dan infrastruktur, serta dampaknya terhadap mitigasi kemiskinan di wilayah Provinsi Aceh. Riset ini dilaksanakan di Provinsi Aceh dan menerapkan metode analisis regresi data linier berganda yang menggabungkan model data time series dan cross section. Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak Eviews 12. Hasil penelitian empiris menegaskan bahwa alokasi anggaran dana otonomi khusus yang ditujukan bagi sektor pendidikan dan infrastruktur memberikan kontribusi positif dan signifikan terhadap penanggulangan tingkat kemiskinan di wilayah tersebut. Namun, alokasi dana serupa yang diperuntukkan bagi sektor kesehatan justru menunjukkan dampak yang negatif dan signifikan terhadap isu kemiskinan. Temuan ini memberikan implikasi bahwa dalam kerangka terpisah, alokasi dana otonomi khusus pada ketiga sektor tersebut secara substansial berperan dalam mendukung upaya mereduksi tingkat kemiskinan di Provinsi Aceh.

This study aims to examine the implications of the allocation of special autonomy fund budgets during the period of 2008-2021 towards critical sectors, namely education, health, and infrastructure, as well as its impact on poverty mitigation in the province of Aceh. This research was conducted within the region of Aceh and employed a multiple linear regression analysis method that integrates time series and cross-sectional data models. Data processing was conducted utilizing the Eviews 12 software. Empirical findings from this research affirm that the allocation of special autonomy funds directed towards the education and infrastructure sectors contributes positively and significantly to addressing poverty levels within the area. However, a similar allocation intended for the health sector demonstrates a significant and negative impact on poverty-related concerns. These findings carry implications that, in an isolated framework, the allocation of special autonomy funds across these three sectors substantially plays a role in supporting efforts to reduce poverty rates in the province of Aceh.
