THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPLEMENTING THE BASIC FOOD PROGRAM DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC (STUDY IN KARANGWUNGU LOR VILLAGE, LAREN DISTRICT, LAMONGAN REGENCY)

Program Sembako adalah perluasan dari Program BPNT untuk mengurangi beban pengeluaran rumah tangga masyarakat miskin dan salah satu upaya pemerintah untuk menanggulangi kemiskinan selama pandemi Covid-19. Desa Karangwungu Lor merupakan salah satu desa yang mendapatkan bantuan Program Sembako namun terdapat permasalahan terkait pelaksanaannya yang menimbulkan berbagai reaksi dari masyarakat sekitar, hal tersebutlah yang mendasari peneliti melakukan penelitian dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui apakah pelaksanaan Program Sembako yang telah dilaksanakan selama pandemi Covid-19 di desa tersebut sudah berjalan dengan efektif atau belum. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif jenis deskriptif dengan fokus penelitian menggunakan pengukuran efektivitas dari Sutrisno (2007:125-126) meliputi pemahaman program, tepat sasaran, tepat waktu, tercapainya tujuan dan perubahan nyata. Berdasarkan penelitian diperoleh hasil bahwa pelaksanaan Program Sembako di Desa Karangwungu Lor masih belum efektif, karena masih belum terpenuhinya beberapa unsur efektivitas program seperti pemahaman program, ketepatan sasaran, ketepatan waktu serta unsur ketercapaian tujuan program yang masih belum tercapai. Saran yang bisa dimunculkan yaitu perlu adanya sosialisasi lanjutan untuk memberikan pemahaman program kepada masyarakat, Perlu adanya percepatan pemutakhiran DTKS untuk mencapai ketepatan sasaran, diharapkan pemerintah dapat mengoptimalkan proses penyaluran bantuan kepada KPM dengan cepat dan tepat waktu agar masyarakat tidak terlambat menerima bantuan, serta pemerintah daerah dapat mempertimbangkan setiap kebijakan yang dibuat terkait penyaluran Program Sembako agar tidak menyalahi aturan dan dapat mencapai tujuan program yang telah ditetapkan.

The Sembako Program is an expansion of the BPNT program to reduce the burden on household expenditures forthe poor, and one of the government's efforts to tackle poverty during the Covid￾19 pandemic. Karangwungu Lor Village is one of the villages that received assistance from the Sembako Program but there were problems related to its implementation which caused various reactions from the surrounding community, this is what underlies researchers to conduct research with the aim of knowing whether the implementation of the Sembako Program has been implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic in that village has been running effectively or not. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method with the focus of research using effectiveness measurements from Sutrisno(2007:125-126) including program understanding, right on target, on time, achieving goals and real change. Basedon the research, it was found that the implementation of the Sembako Program in Karangwungu Lor Village was still not effective, because several elements of program effectiveness had not been fulfilled such as program understanding, target accuracy, timeliness and elements of achieving program objectives that had not been achieved. Suggestions that can be raised are the need for further socialization to provide understanding of the program to the community, There is a need to accelerate the updating of DTKS to achieve target accuracy, it is hoped that the government can optimize the process of distributing aid to KPM quickly and on time so that people are not late in receiving assistance, and local governments can consider any policies made related to the distribution of the Basic Food Program so that they do not violate the rules and can achieve the program objectives that have been set.
