BSB is one of the government's efforts to fulfill the basic needs of the poor who are KPM PKH. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic which has paralyzed various sectors of life, including informal sector workers.
All parties also need to pay attention to the aspects of fairness and accountability in implementation and reporting, because even during a pandemic, inspections will continue as per existing regulations.
In its implementation in the field, there are still often obstacles and obstacles so that continuous coordination and communication between the parties involved is required.
It should also be noted that currently, in general, the distribution of social assistance for rice has reached 72.60% of the rice that has been received by KPM PKH. Some areas do experience geographical and weather constraints, but many areas have already taken the third phase of distribution.
The smoothness and success of this rice assistance program cannot be separated from the role of Social Offices and PKH companions who directly participate in the community in the distribution process.
With BSB, the government hopes that none of the people lack basic needs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
