Abstract

Research Originality: This study provides the first scientific analysis of the effect of the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) Program on household food security among Indonesia’s lowest 20% expenditure group. Research Objectives: This study examines the impact of the Non-Cash Food Assistance Program (BPNT) on household food security in Indonesia, with a focus on households in the lowest 20% expenditure group. Research Methods: This study employs a multinomial logistic regression model to investigate the key determinants of food security among households. Empirical Results: The Non-Cash Food Assistance Program (BPNT) plays a significant role in improving the food security of recipient households. Social assistance programs like BPNT can help low-income families by mitigating the negative effects of food price shocks, specifically by promoting dietary diversity. Implications: The government should continually update data to enhance the effectiveness of BPNT distribution, particularly for the poorest 20% of households, who are most vulnerable to food insecurity. It also needs to conduct regular outreach and monitoring to ensure beneficiaries use BPNT properly.
