Abstract

This type of qualitative research uses a phenomenological approach. The research results show that The Selayar Islands District Government has implemented various economic policies to support the empowerment of coastal women, particularly through skills training, capital assistance, business group strengthening and integration in the local tourism sector. These efforts are conducted through relevant agencies and collaboration with NGOs, universities and the private sector. Despite challenges such as the lack of gender-disaggregated data and limited access to information, this policy shows progress in encouraging women's independence and active role in coastal economic development. For optimised results, a more inclusive and needs-based approach is needed.
