PELAKSANAAN PROGRAM KELUARGA HARAPAN (PKH) DI DUSUN PASI GAMPONG BAK PAOH KECAMATAN JAYA KABUPATEN ACEH JAYA (Studi Implementasi Permensos RI Nomor 1 Tahun 2018 Tentang Program Keluarga Harapan)

Abstract

Poverty is a global social problem that requires an active role from the government, including in Indonesia. To reduce poverty and improve community welfare, the government through the Ministry of Social Affairs has implemented the Family Hope Program (PKH). This program has proven to be quite effective in helping poor and vulnerable families. This study focuses on the implementation of PKH in Gampong Bak Paoh, Pasi Hamlet, Jaya District, Aceh Jaya Regency, with the aim of finding out the requirements for aid recipients and the implementation of the program in the area. The method used is descriptive qualitative with observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of PKH has been in accordance with government regulations. However, there are obstacles such as recipients who are actually capable but do not voluntarily withdraw from the program. This happens because the recipient data comes directly from the Ministry of Social Affairs and cannot be changed by PKH facilitators. Even so, this program provides various benefits to the community, such as increasing education levels, social welfare, access to health, and economic support. Thus, PKH has an important role in poverty alleviation, although evaluation and data updates are still needed to be more targeted.
