Abstract
One of the challenging issues in poverty alleviation programs is to determine the set of multi criteria which encompass aspect of inputs, process and output that yield the best alternative program. This is important due to the fact that poverty is a multidimensional issue and criteria for input, process and output are varying. This study aimed to address such a challenge by employing a multi criteria analysis. A Promethee (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) was used to assess existing various poverty alleviation programs. In addition, a hybrid policy was introduced in order to compare with existing policies. The results of the study show that the Zakat program performs well in terms of data accuracy, the accuracy of the program, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, achievement of targets, sustainability and the establishment of public institutions. In contrast, a program initiated by the private sector, i.e. CSR performs well in the availability of funds and monitoring and evaluation, while the pattern of government programs excel in aspects such as planning and the availability of funds. Overall, the newly introduced policy of hybrid program offers the best performance for all aspect of inputs, process and output in administering the poverty alleviation program.
