THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FAMILY HOPE PROGRAM THROUGH FAMILY DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS
The purpose of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of the Family Hope Program through the Family Development Session (FDS). This study discusses the effectiveness of the program, analyzing the accuracy of program targets, program socialization, program objectives and program monitoring. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection interviews, observations and documentation. This research was conducted in Sukagalih Village, Tarogong Kidul District, Garut Regency. The research informants were the village head, the head of the welfare section, assistants and representatives of FDS participants. Based on the results of the study indicate that the application of FDS has not been effective. This can be seen from the lack of understanding of the Beneficiary Families (KPM) regarding the material from the modules presented, the lack of KPM participation in FDS time, and passive monitoring so that the achievement of goals has not been maximized. Therefore, several things were recommended, such as the need for assistants to improve their educational capabilities, the need to increase KPM awareness about the importance of participation in FDS, and the need for regular monitoring by village officials in the implementation of FDS. So that KPM that is already socio-economically feasible can be graduated.
