The problem of poverty is a complex issue dealt by all countries including Indonesia and the province of West Sulawesi. Accordingly, many poverty alleviation programs have been issued by the government. Even so, there are numbers which only act reactively and temporarily with no sustainability to solve the root problem. One of them is known as Joint Business Group (KUBE). This research applies descriptive method with qualitative approach. The instrument includes guided interview toward 21 informants, observation, and documentation. Data mining techniques and analysis in the form of reduction, display, and conclusion. The research findings show that the empowerment of joint business group in Mamuju Regency has been selected by the proposal referring to the priority scale based on the guidance of poverty reduction. It is done by identifying poor and less developed joint business group in the location and checking the facts and data of the groups who submit the application. Concerning funding aspect in 2013, West Sulawesi Provincial Government has channeled the assistance through deconcentration funds of APBN worth 1,8 billion rupiahs to ninety rural and 20 urban cities’ joint business group. In 2014, there are 50 urban and 90 rural’s KUBE for Mamuju Regency get rations as much as 19 urban and 44 rural with 20 million rupiahs per KUBE. Influenced by internal factors such as lack of knowledge and spirit of KUBE board itself, the external factors from the political aspect create pressure between political and government elites who violate the procedure by imposing sympathetic and fictitious KUBE. Furthermore, to optimize KUBE programs, it is advisable that the Board of Social Service should be more selective in choosing KUBE proposals, adding more budget, being firm and convincing KUBE board to understand the management of its business type, and avoid the pressure from the political element.
