Efektivitas Program Bantuan Pangan Nontunai di Kota Yogyakarta

Abstract

Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) aims to help the poor in accessing some of their food. Unfortunately, various obstacles and challenges are still found in the implementation that can potentially reduce the full benefits of BPNT. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of BPNT implementation in Yogyakarta City as a pilot area. A qualitative approach is used to answer it, supplemented by a variety of primary and secondary data. The primary data comes from a questionnaire based on an e-warong perspective and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, The results showed that the implementation of BPNT in Yogyakarta City was generally effective but with a note when viewed from 6 accuracy indicators. The administrative dimension has not performed better than the others. Moreover, according to the interviews, the established dimensions still have a chance to decrease its performance due to various factors. Based on that finding, the government needs to improve food supply, infrastructure, and data collection mechanism. In addition, other suggestions are to improve BPNT based on beneficiary and region, and to increase the National Logistics Agency's involvement and performance to support BPNT and national food affairs.
