Tinjauan Pelaksanaan Penyaluran Bantuan Sosial oleh Dinas Sosial Aceh

Abstrak Penyaluran bantuan sosial di Provinsi Aceh pada tahun 2024 melalui Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) dan Bantuan Pangan Non-Tunai (BPNT) menunjukkan kinerja yang cukup efektif meskipun masih terdapat beberapa tantangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi efektivitas penyaluran bantuan sosial oleh Dinas Sosial Aceh dengan mengukur ketepatan sasaran, ketepatan waktu, ketepatan jumlah, dan efisiensi distribusi. Pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif digunakan dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa tingkat realisasi penyaluran PKH dan BPNT berada di kisaran 91-93%, ketepatan sasaran mencapai sekitar 92%, dan ketepatan waktu mencapai 100%. Namun, terdapat ketimpangan efektivitas antar kabupaten/kota serta keterbatasan dalam transparansi dan akuntabilitas yang menghambat deteksi penyimpangan. Implikasi penelitian ini menekankan perlunya pemutakhiran data penerima secara berkala, peningkatan kapasitas daerah dengan capaian rendah, diversifikasi jalur distribusi, dan penguatan sistem monitoring dan evaluasi untuk meningkatkan efektivitas dan transparansi penyaluran bantuan sosial di masa mendatang.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of social assistance distribution by the Aceh Social Service by assessing targeting accuracy, timeliness, accuracy of amount, and distribution efficiency. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, collecting data through interviews with relevant staff and documentary studies of the 2024 social assistance distribution. The results show that the realization of PKH and BPNT distribution ranges between 91% and 93%, targeting accuracy reaches approximately 92%, and timeliness achieves 100%. However, disparities exist among districts/cities, alongside limitations in transparency and accountability that hinder the detection of irregularities. The findings imply the need for regular updates of recipient data, capacity building in low-achieving areas, diversification of distribution channels, and strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems to enhance the effectiveness and transparency of social assistance distribution in the future.
