field related to the distribution of social assistance. "The Ministry of
Social Affairs has many programs with large budgets, such as basic food cards
and BPNT/Non-Cash Food Assistance with different targets, namely the lowest 10
million KPM/Beneficiaries PKH cluster, 18.5 million KPM, 10 million KPM there
are intersections with BPNT. However, many problems occurred in the field. One

of targeting the DTKS."

information about the exact time of delivery so that POLRI can prepare and
confirm whether social assistance has been received by the community."
