Implementasi Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) untuk Kesejahteraan Masyarakat di Kabupaten Lebak

Abstract

Poverty is a phenomenon that arises as a result of the inability of the community to fulfill life, so the quality of life decreases and the productivity of the community is disrupted. To overcome this, the government has developed a program that encourages the improvement of community welfare, namely the Family Hope Program (PKH). The program provides conditional social assistance to poor families as beneficiary families. This paper focuses on the Implementation of the Family Hope Program (PKH) for Community Welfare in Lebak Regency (Study in Malingping District, Lebak Regency, Banten Province). The data collection method used a descriptive approach through observation, study, and documentation. Data analysis through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or levers. From the results of the study, it was found that the PKH Program was felt to be beneficial for the beneficiary families so there was a change in the quality of education and health services. However, the program has not been significant in reducing poverty. There is no uniformity in the data that is managed and data anomalies are still found, such as mismatches in names, population identification numbers (NIK), family card numbers (KK), and multiple IBDT numbers (Integrated Database Identity). There is still weak synergy in data management from RT/RW to the central government. Socialization has not been widely reached by the community and assistance has not been maximized. Financial assistance is often used outside the provisions of the beneficiary. Withdrawal services for PKH money often experience problems with the BRI Link service.
