Improving Community Welfare through the Family Hope Program for Wasior Village Residents, Wasior District of West Papua Province of Indonesia

Abstract

 The primary concern in this study is to the implementation strategies and the various aspects that impact the efficacy of the Family Hope Program in enhancing the well-being of individuals residing in Wasior Village, Wasior District, Teluk Wondama Regency, West Papua Province. The present study employs a descriptive qualitative methodology, specifically utilizing a case study technique. The data collection approaches employed in this study encompass observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings of this study indicate that the implementation of the Family Hope Program in enhancing community welfare has been executed effectively, as evidenced by the successful and seamless progression of implementation stages. These stages encompassed field observations and data collection on individuals in need, who subsequently received assistance through the Family Hope program. The Family Hope Program Facilitator will collaborate with the Village Government to authenticate or align the existing data. Subsequently, the data will be transmitted or submitted to the Center for Data and Information (PUSDATIN) under the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. The recipient community or families of the Family Hope Program are accurately aligned with the program's objectives. Simultaneously, the determinants that impact the execution of the Family Hope Program encompass the supportive factors that influence the establishment of the policy itself. These factors comprise three key components, namely health, education, and social welfare. Consequently, the program effectively aids disadvantaged individuals across multiple domains, encompassing health, education, and social welfare. Moreover, a significant obstacle within the Family of Hope program pertains to the occurrence of delays in the distribution of aid monies to the beneficiary community or family, as well as the discontent arising from inadequate information provided to the beneficiary community or family.
