EFEKTIVITAS PERAN PENDAMPING PADA PROGRAM KELUARGA HARAPAN DI KECAMATAN PARUNG KABUPATEN BOGOR

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the social assistant role in the implementation of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Parung District, Bogor Regency. PKH is a major government initiative for poverty alleviation, heavily reliant on the Assistants' role in ensuring aid is precisely targeted and effectively utilized. This research uses a qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The main informants were PKH Assistants and Beneficiary Families (KPM). The research results indicate that the role of PKH assistants has generally been quite effective, particularly in carrying out the functions of facilitation, education, and monitoring of KPM. Success is supported by training and strong interpersonal approaches, but faced obstacles such as limited facilities/logistics and communication constraints with KPMs who have low education levels. The effectiveness of this role is evident from positive behavioral changes, increased health awareness, and improved educational attainment of KPM children.
