This study analyzes the qualitative relationship between government fiscal expenditures and poverty reduction in East Java, Indonesia. Despite contributing significantly to national poverty reduction, East Java still has the largest number of poor residents among provinces in Java. The research focuses on four key variables: education expenditure, health expenditure, village funds (Dana Desa), and non-cash food assistance (BPNT). Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study synthesizes secondary data from 2019 to 2024, including statistical reports from BPS and budget data from the Ministry of Finance, as well as previous empirical studies. Findings reveal that government health expenditure and village funds tend to have a stronger and more consistent impact on reducing poverty, particularly in rural areas. Education spending shows mixed results, often influenced by local capacity and governance.
