Sustainability of Family Hope Program in Batu Bersurat Village, XIII Koto Kampar District, Kampar Regency, Riau, Indonesia

Abstract

In efforts to reduce poverty, the Family Hope Program (PKH) has had a positive impact but also faces implementation challenges. The sustainability of social programs is crucial for their long-term success in improving the well-being of beneficiaries. This study evaluates the sustainability of the Family Hope program in Batu Bersurat Village by using the RAPFISH method, which analyzes the input, process, and output aspects of the program. The evaluation criteria are ranked on an ordinal scale from 0 to 3, and the sustainability index is divided into four groups. The results show that the Family Hope program has a relatively good level of sustainability in all three dimensions, with some attributes having a greater influence on program sustainability than others. The study identifies the most critical factors in each aspect that need improvement to increase the program's sustainability, such as improving the suitability of the program to the needs of the target community, increasing participants' understanding of the program, conducting regular evaluations and monitoring, and maintaining the program's continuity. The study recommends that these factors be addressed to improve the sustainability of the program. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Family Hope program's sustainability and offers insights into the strategies that can be implemented to enhance its effectiveness in improving the well-being of beneficiaries.
