The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a conditional social assistance policy designed to reduce poverty through increasing access to education and health services for the poor. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with an inductive-deductive method. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that the implementation of PKH has not run optimally due to weak coordination between actors, limited authority of the district government, inaccuracy of Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS), and dominance of administrative approaches that have not been able to accommodate the socio-cultural reality of the indigenous people of Biak. The important findings of this study show the existence of the phenomenon of Cultural Filters, which is a mechanism for adaptation of indigenous peoples that filters and negotiates policy implementation based on the values of the Keret System and customary leadership. This research offers a Cultural-Informed Collaborative Governance model, which is a collaborative governance that integrates the government, PKH facilitators, village governments, and customary institutions as Sociocultural Validators in the process of validating beneficiary data. This model is expected to be able to improve the accuracy of social assistance distribution, minimize inclusion errors and exclusion errors, and realize the implementation of more adaptive, fair, and sustainable policies in the indigenous peoples of Papua.
