This study explores the role of multidimensional capital in alleviating poverty, in Kalasin Province, one of Thailand's persistently poor areas. applying the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) and Public Policy Implementation Theory. Data from structured household surveys (2020– 2023) , collected through multistage stratified random sampling, were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Scheffé's tests. Results indicated significant effects of all capital forms in 2020 and 2023 (p < 0.01), while 2021 showed stagnation. Human and social capital enhanced resilience, whereas financial, physical, and natural capital supported infrastructure and development. Findings emphasize adaptive, evidence-based policies and extend the SLF's empirical application to structurally disadvantaged regions.

Keywords: Multidimensional Capital, Poverty alleviation, Sustainable livelihood framework, Public Policy Implementation Theory, Public Policy
