This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) control in realizing targeted food assistance in South Likupang District, North Minahasa Regency. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies of key informants, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results of the study indicate that: (1) in the data updating and recipient suitability indicators, DTKS control has not been running effectively because the updating process is static, incidental, and dependent on a central database, so that field verification tends to be subjective and minimal community participation; (2) in the inhibiting factor indicator, technical obstacles were found in the form of the lack of integration of the village information system with the SIKS-NG application, minimal operator training, and limited digital infrastructure, as well as managerial obstacles that include weak cross-agency coordination, non-standardized distribution procedures, informal intervention by local figures, and the absence of a verified backup data mechanism. Based on these findings, it is recommended that data updates be conducted routinely and in a participatory manner, that digital capacity and human resources of civil servants be improved, that distribution procedures be standardized, and that a coordination forum and transparency of backup data be instituted to ensure accuracy of targeting.
