Abstract

This research aims to explain the obstacles of HRD program by IMT-GT in reducing the
poverty in Aceh. Various effort had been made to reduce poverty in Aceh. One of them was
the IMT-GT (Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle) as a sub-regional
cooperation. However, through the HRD (Human Resources Development) program aims
to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life, is not effective either. This research used
qualitative methods, with neo-functionalism theory to prove the hypothesis. The result of
this research found out that the ineffectiveness of IMT-GT HRD program was caused by
the failure of IMT-GT to create good regional integration and the failure of HRD to work
on spillover scheme.
