Implementasi Program Pensasaran Percepatan Penghapusan Kemiskinan Ekstrem (P3KE) di Kecamatan Kasemen Kota Serang

Abstract

The problem of extreme poverty remains a strategic issue in social development in Indonesia. Through the P3KE Program, the government seeks to improve the accuracy of aid distribution while simultaneously reducing the rate of extreme poverty. This study aims to examine the implementation of the P3KE Program in Kasemen District by applying the policy implementation theory of George C. Edward III, which emphasizes communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure as key dimensions. The research employed a qualitative approach, with data collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The participants involved included the Social Affairs Office, district and village officials, social facilitators, and Beneficiary Families (KPM). Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the P3KE Program has not yet been fully effective. This condition is reflected in the limited public understanding of the program, insufficient resources, inconsistencies between administrative data and actual field conditions, the administrative-oriented disposition of implementers, as well as a hierarchical and less responsive bureaucratic structure. Therefore, strengthening communication, improving resource capacity, enhancing implementers’ commitment, and refining policy systems and flexibility are necessary to ensure that the program can be implemented more effectively and accurately targeted.
