Abstract: This article discusses about poverty in East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia from a sociological perspective. The aim is to find out the causes of poverty and the possible solutions. Using library research and qualitative approach, poverty is discussed and analyzed in order to explore aspects related to it. The findings indicate that poverty in East Nusa Tenggara is multidimensional in its indicators and causes. Three main causes of poverty are natural factors, human factors and structural factors. This study recommends that development in NTT be based on ethical and moral principles such as respect for human dignity, common good, sustainability, participation and cooperation, so that state administrators or public servants in NTT carry out their functions with full dedication and responsibility and avoid corrupt and exploitative behavior. Also, there is an urgent need to develop a “habitus†of bringing this issue into public sphere, in which people of every level in society can participate in public debates on how to overcome poverty in NTT by understanding its root-causes and strategies to solve the problem.
