Mahkatop — The Government of the Republic of Indonesia continues to strive to provide social assistance (bansos) to those in need. For the year 2024, a budget of Rp 150 trillion has been allocated for social assistance programs.
These aids encompass various programs such as direct cash assistance (BLT), logistical assistance, and non-cash assistance.
Several bansos programs scheduled to be disbursed in 2024 include the Family Hope Program (PKH), Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), and Food Risk Mitigation BLT.
Through this assistance, the government aims to help individuals affected by the global economic crisis and improve societal welfare.
These bansos programs also target those affected by natural disasters, helping them to recover and rebuild their lives.
