This research aims to test the effect of public expenditures on education, health, and infrastructure toward poverty. The research used econometric analysis of panel data of regencies/city in Gorontalo, 2009-2013. The results demonstrated that public expenditures on education and health had negative and significant effects toward the poverty level in all regencies/city in Gorontalo while the public expenditure on infrastructure did not have any effect toward the level of poverty in all regencies/city in Gorontalo.
