Abstract

The Family Hope Program is one of the government initiatives designed to reduce social welfare issues. This program offers poor and vulnerable families conditional cash assistance. These requirements pertain to enhancing the quality of human resources, specifically health and education, as a measure of a prosperous life. This research examines how the Family Hope Program (PKH) has improved the quality of family life in Sopai District, North Toraja Regency. This research is qualitative and descriptive—observational, interview-based, and document-based data collection techniques. The technique for data analysis employs data reduction, presentation of data and derivation of conclusions regarding the improvement of the quality of life as measured by health and education indicators using Dunn’s public policy evaluation theory, specifically effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and precision. Through the implementation of the hopeful family program, it was demonstrated that beneficiary families’ quality of life could be enhanced. Based on the evaluation criteria of public policy, it is evident that the quality of life of the beneficiary families has improved, as made evident by the education component, namely the increase in children’s school enrolment rates, and the health component, namely the increase in the number of mothers and children receiving health checks at health services, as well as the increase in immunization recipients and life expectancy.
