Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in East Flores Regency, which, despite over a decade of execution, has not yielded significant improvements in poverty reduction, behavioral change, or independence among beneficiary families. The research aims to evaluate the program’s effectiveness across key indicators, including targeting accuracy, service productivity, administrative performance, and resource utilization. Using a qualitative policy evaluation approach, the study collects both primary and secondary data through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving 96 informants. Data were analyzed using Creswell’s spiral analysis technique and assessed via the Discrepancy Evaluation Model. Findings indicate numerous challenges: delayed and misallocated aid, inadequate coordination, insufficient equipment, and irregular monitoring. While PKH has helped reduce short-term financial burdens, it has not yet achieved long-term goals such as empowering recipients or reducing poverty cycles. The study recommends enhancing data accuracy, decentralizing fund distribution, and improving infrastructure and stakeholder coordination. These findings contribute to policy refinements that can increase the relevance, efficiency, and impact of PKH, especially in remote and underserved regions like East Flores.

Abstract

Village Fund management plays a crucial role in promoting local development and community empowerment. However, its implementation often encounters challenges related to limited community participation, insufficient transparency, and the varying effectiveness of government programs. This study aims to analyze the accountability of Village Fund management in Benteng Poco Village, Wae Ri’i District, Manggarai Regency, focusing on three dimensions: process accountability, program accountability, and financial accountability. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and reviews of official village documents. The findings indicate that process accountability has been implemented adequately through village deliberations and the use of the Siskeudes administrative system, although community understanding and participation remain limited. Program accountability is carried out through regular evaluation meetings, yet the effectiveness of several programs is hampered by insufficient technical support and lack of sustainability. Financial accountability demonstrates a commitment to transparency, particularly through the publication of budget information, although the presentation of financial data remains difficult for some villagers to fully understand. This study highlights the need to enhance community involvement, simplify public financial information, and strengthen program support mechanisms to achieve transparent and accountable Village Fund governance.
