Implementasi Program Bantuan Ketahanan Pangan melalui Penyaluran Bantuan Hewan Ternak dan Bibit Tumbuhan di Desa Bangun Purba

Abstract

Food security is a crucial foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty, particularly in rural areas vulnerable to limited food access. The Bangun Purba Village Government implemented a food security program through the distribution of livestock and plant seeds as a strategy to increase food availability and community income. This study aims to describe the program's implementation process, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and assess its impact on poverty alleviation in the village. The research method used a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collection techniques including interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants included the village head, program coordinator, members of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), and aid recipients. Data and information were analyzed based on David C. Korten's theory of Program Implementation Success, which includes indicators for the Program, Implementing Organization, and Target Group. The results indicate that the program has contributed to increasing food availability for some communities, but its effectiveness has not been maximized due to uneven aid distribution, lack of technical assistance, minimal outreach, and weak coordination between relevant parties. Recommendations include improving the quality of field assistance, strengthening cross-agency coordination, and regular evaluation to ensure targeted and sustainable aid in Bangun Purba Village.
