The Implementation of The Family Hope Program to Enhance Community Welfare in Benjeng Subdistrict, Gresik Regency

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the policy's impact and provide evidence on the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Indonesia, which reduces poverty and social inequality and promotes financial inclusion for low-income families. Because Indonesian society has not yet developed significantly, the results of government initiatives need to be demonstrated. This article's research uses qualitative methods combined with a descriptive approach. Social welfare is an institution or field of activity involving organized activities carried out by both government and private institutions aimed at preventing, addressing, or contributing to the resolution of social problems and improving the quality of life of individuals, groups, and communities. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Benjeng District, Gresik Regency, East Java, remains poorly targeted and has not achieved its intended goals. PKH assistance is provided to residents who should not receive it. This helps the local government improve the process.
