Jakarta, (24/5). Indonesia success in tackling income poverty in the past 30 years is undebatable. High economic performance has played an important role in reducing poverty.

The next task will be how to design effective poverty reduction strategy, how to identify where the challenges are and what is the driver of poverty that needs to be addressed.
