Abstract

Abstract: Refugees who are in Indonesia, do not have a job and only expect the cost of living provided by UNHCR and IOM. These costs are insufficient to meet daily needs. To provide opportunities to increase the cost of living, there is a livelihood opportunities program which aims to provide opportunities for refugees to have a more decent life. The agricultural sector can empower refugees in the livelihood opportunity program. By providing opportunity for refugees, it is hoped that the agricultural sector can increase the amount of production and make the lives of refugees more prosperous and can increase costs for their daily needs. The formulation of the problem in this research is how to enable the agricultural sector to empower refugees in the livelihood opportunity program. The research method used in this writing is a normative study. The research results show that it is difficult for the agricultural sector to empower refugees in livelihood opportunity because there are no legal rules governing it. The recommendation in this study is, it needs to be a special regulation that regulates refugees to carry out livelihood opportunity program in the agricultural sector that has potential in the Indonesian economy.
