Implementasi Program Bantuan Pangan Non Tunai (BPNT) dalam Mewujudkan Ketahanan Pangan Masyarakat Miskin di Kelurahan Nangka Kota Binjai

Abstract

Non-cash program assistance is a form of assistance provided to the people of Indonesia in the form of non-cash to assist the community in making ends meet, especially in Nangka Village, Binjai City. However, in reality there are still problems where the distribution of assistance is uneven and not routine to the community. This shows that there are obstacles in the implementation of BPNT. This study aims to describe and examine the implementation of the BPNT Program in the Nangka Village. The research method used in this research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using interviews, observation, documentation, and literature techniques. The data were analyzed qualitatively using the implementation model of George Edward III which included communication, resources, dispositions, and bureaucratic structures. The results of the research show that the BPNT Program has been communicated to the public in a clear, easy to understand, and consistent manner through face-to-face methods and posters. Resources have also supported both in terms of facilities and the people on duty. In addition, the community and local government are able to understand the mechanism for distributing aid properly which is based on the legal basis of the BPNT Program. It's just that the commitment or attitude of the local government is still not optimal because they are only waiting for the attitude of the central government in responding to existing problems. This is what hinders the community in increasing food security through the BPNT Program.
