GTP 2.0 - Prime Minister's Office of Malaysia

GtP 1.0 aChIEvEmENts
The first three years of the LIH NKRA saw the
implementation of initiatives that drove right
into the heart of the poverty issue in Malaysia.
In 2009, the poverty rate in Malaysia stands at
3.8%, down from 16.5% in 1989. Prior to the
implementation of the GTP, the Government
recognised that there should be a more focused
and effort to tackle poverty and established
several programmes in response.
One key issue identified early on was the
lack of a central database tracking low-income
households in the country, which proved to be
a stumbling block for earlier poverty-fighting
efforts. One of the first implementations of
the LIH NKRA was thus the strengthening of
a central database, eKasih, which was designed
to provide a more accurate measurement of
poverty in Malaysia.
In terms of deliverables, the LIH NKRA
established the 1AZAM programme, which
co-ordinates efforts to improve the lives of
the poor and extreme poor rakyat through a
combination of programmes. The programmes
focus on establishing job placements in a range
of industry sectors, including agriculture and
small business enterprises.
While the LIH NKRA provides cash assistance to
recipients in extreme cases, it is important to note
that the disbursement of funds is targeted and
limited to a year with strict conditions. Instead,
the initiatives are focused on empowering
the poor and extreme poor to improve their
livelihoods through skill development. This
creates a sustainable model, not just for the
recipients, but for the NKRA as well.
Thus, to encourage greater and greater
ownership on the part of assistance recipients,
they are monitored by the NKRA implementing
agencies after completing the programme to
ensure that they are putting into practice the
skills learnt from the 1AZAM programme and
growing their incomes.
This creates a sustainable
model, not just for recipients,
but for the NKRA as well.
