The effectiveness of strengthening social protection and security has proven to alleviate poverty in rural communities in the Garut Regency area, West Java Province, Indonesia, due in particular to excellent multi-sectoral cooperation. The social protection and security programs that the Indonesian Government provides are mainly targeted at the poor, as recorded in the social welfare data (DTKS). Poor people who are not registered with the DTKS cannot obtain social assistance programs. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the program so that the people who should be able to receive it can receive it. This is further strengthened through multi-sectoral collaboration between stakeholders, the business sector, academics, communities, and social media. The results of interviews with respondents show that strengthening social protection and security programs through multi-sectoral cooperation is very effective in helping reduce poverty in rural communities in Garut Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia.
