Keywords:
Poverty; Family Hope Program; Social Protection; Village Development.Abstract
This study aims to analyze the role of the Family Hope Program in poverty reduction at the village level and to identify the factors constraining its effectiveness in North Lemito Village, Lemito District, Pohuwato Regency. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design to capture the contextual dynamics of program implementation. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with beneficiaries and village officials, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Family Hope Program plays a significant role in reducing socio-economic vulnerability by supporting educational continuity, improving access to maternal and child health services, and providing basic social protection for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and persons with disabilities. However, the program’s effectiveness is constrained by delayed fund disbursement due to centralized data management, weak inter-institutional coordination, and suboptimal communication between implementers and beneficiaries. In conclusion, although the Family Hope Program functions as an effective social protection instrument at the village level, strengthening data governance, coordination mechanisms, and communication systems is essential to enhance its responsiveness and sustainability in poverty reduction efforts.
