Implementasi Bantuan Sosial (BANSOS) Dalam Upaya Pengurangan Kemiskinan Di Desa Banjarbendo

Abstract

In developing countries, including Indonesia, poverty remains a major problem that affects public health, especially in rural areas. In its efforts to alleviate poverty, Banjarbendo Village is one of the villages that still faces many challenges. To help low-income people meet their basic needs, the government has implemented various social assistance programmes. Using George C. Edward III's policy implementation theory, this study examines the implementation of social assistance in efforts to end poverty in Banjarbendo Village. These theories include communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This study is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach. Village officials and social assistance beneficiaries were interviewed, observed, and documented to collect data.
