Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in improving community welfare in Bragung Village, Sumenep District, through a holistic approach that combines material and spiritual aspects using the CIBEST model. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with 30 beneficiary families, and a study of official documents. The CIBEST model was applied to assess welfare through four dimensions: material-spiritual welfare, material poverty, spiritual poverty and absolute poverty. The research findings show that PKH succeeded in significantly improving welfare. The Welfare Index (W) increased from 0.267 to 0.8 (200%), while the Spiritual (Ps) and Absolute (Pa) Poverty Indices were eliminated. However, the Material Poverty Index (Pm) only fell by 25%, indicating the need to strengthen the economic aspects of the program. Theoretically, this research makes an innovative contribution by adapting the CIBEST model - originally for zakat programs - into a social policy evaluation instrument. This approach offers a new perspective in measuring well-being that is more comprehensive by integrating the spiritual dimension. The findings recommend: (1) strengthening community-based economic assistance programs, (2) improving synergies between social assistance programs, and (3) developing a monitoring system based on holistic indicators to ensure the sustainability of community welfare improvements.
