The Family Hope Program, hereinafter referred to as PKH, is a program of providing conditional social assistance to Poor Families designated as beneficiary families of PKH.

As an effort to accelerate poverty reduction, since 2007 the Government of Indonesia has implemented PKH. The Social Protection Program which is also known internationally as Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) has proven to be quite successful in tackling the poverty faced in these countries, especially the problem of chronic poverty.

As a conditional social assistance program, PKH opens access for poor families, especially pregnant women and children, to take advantage of various health service facilities (faskes) and educational service facilities (fasdik) available around them. The benefits of PKH have also begun to be encouraged to cover persons with disabilities and the elderly by maintaining their level of social welfare in accordance with the mandate of the constitution and the Nawacita of the President of the Republic of Indonesia.

Through PKH, KM is encouraged to have access to and utilize basic social services of health, education, food and nutrition, care, and assistance, including access to various other social protection programs which are complementary programs on an ongoing basis. PKH is directed to be the epicenter and center of excellence for poverty reduction that synergizes various national social protection and empowerment programs.

PKH's mission to reduce poverty is becoming increasingly prominent considering that the number of poor people in Indonesia until March 2016 was still 10.86% of the total population or 28.01 million people (BPS, 2016). The government has set a poverty reduction target of 7-8% in 2019, as stated in the 2015-2019 RPJMN. PKH is expected to contribute significantly to reducing the number of poor people, reducing inequality (gini ratio) while increasing the Human Development Index (IPM).

The results of other studies show that PKH has an impact on changes in household consumption, as in several other CCT implementing countries. PKH succeeded in increasing the consumption of beneficiary households in Indonesia by 4.8%.
