Research was conducted using qualitative method and data collection with policy document study and interview. Interpretative analysis was carried out using collaborative governance theory.

The study found that local government-s policy had not put child poverty onto the priority of CSR utilization yet. Policy communication had not optimized new media as advocacy medium.
