Keywords: Millenium Development Goals, Extreme Poverty and Hunger ABSTRAK Kajian mengenai program Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) di Indonesia bertujuan untuk mengetahui latar belakang dan signifikansi program yang diambil oleh pemerintah di bawah pemerintahan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono pada tahun 2009-2014 tentang pemberantasan kemiskinan dan kelaparan ekstrim. Isu kemiskinan dan kelaparan ekstrim di Indonesia belum terpecahkan secara komprehensif. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah harus menyediakan program yang tepat untuk mengakhiri kemiskinan. Data yang digunakan oleh peneliti adalah sumber sekunder, yaitu penelitian kepustakaan seperti buku dan jurnal, dan rujukan dari internet. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa program pemberantasan kemiskinan dan kelaparan di tahun 2009-2014 telah direvisi menjadi tiga kelompok. Kelompok pertama bertujuan untuk membantu dan melindungi keluarga melalui jaminan sosial dan untuk menjamin kebutuhan dasar. Kelompok kedua adalah pemberantasan kemiskinan dan kelaparan melalui program bantuan sosial. Kelompok ketiga fokus pada pemberantasan kemiskinan dan kelaparan dalam hal ekonomi. Pemerintah menggunakan indikator oleh UNDP sebagai dasar proses pengambilan keputusan, namun juga menggunakan kondisi riil orang miskin di Indonesia sebagai pertimbangan utama. Kata Kunci: Millenium Development Goals, Kemiskinan dan Kelaparan Ekstrim Introduction Indonesia is a developing country which has a vast region and one of the most populated states. As an archipelago country, Indonesia consisted of thousand islands, and each island is separated by the sea. This condition caused the development gap among islands and gave the impact on the rate of poverty and hunger. Considering this characteristic, Indonesia is susceptible to the phenomenon of extreme poverty and hunger.
