| Summary: | This article investigates the policies of Wali Nangroe as having regional characteristics. Based on a qualitative analysis, through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and data triangulation, all society elements in Aceh await the Wali Nanggroe Institution in providing an analysis study related to poverty in Aceh Province. In September 2020, the Aceh BPS report shocked Aceh Province that the number of poor people increased to 19,000. In percentage terms, the poverty rate reached 15.43% or the highest on Sumatra's island. This study results in the institutional structure of Wali Nanggroe is a complete institution for overcoming poverty problems because functional assemblies and structural institutions are at the forefront of Wali Nanggroe in analyzing and compiling institutional plans. However, the Wali Nanggroe institution was trapped in a conflict between parties and certain groups' interests. The impetus for the Wali Nanggroe Institution's existence to reduce poverty refers to the large budget for the Wali Nanggroe Institution. However, the Wali Nanggroe Institution's contribution in providing opinions and views on community problems is minimal. The role and position of Wali Nanggroe is only a symbol so that the issue of poverty that occurs in Aceh goes unnoticed. Currently, the Wali Nanggroe Institution has not provided directly to the Government of Aceh regarding poverty alleviation plans and schemes based on regional characteristics.
