Abstract

One of the Indonesian government's efforts to reduce poverty is through the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) program. BPNT is a transformation of Rice for Poor (Rastra) which provides food assistance through an electronic account mechanism. However, the poverty in some provinces has increased. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of BPNT in Sub-district Panjang and find out the factors that influence the implementation of BPNT. This research is conducted with a post-positive approach, while data collection technique using qualitative methods through in-depth interview and literature. This research uses the theory of Khandaker & Khan's rational model, subsidy, public policy, and the implementation of public policy. The result shows that the implementation of BPNT in Sub-district Panjang is still not as expected. The factors that influence the implementation include the lack of understanding of the actor's duties, incomplete regulations, and lack of monitoring at the sub-district level.
