Abstract

The Social Rehabilitation Assistance Program (ATENSI) is a policy of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia that focuses on improving the welfare and independence of people with disabilities through family, community, and institution-based services. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the ATENSI Program in empowering people with disabilities in the city of Pekanbaru and identify inhibiting factors in its implementation. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The informants consisted of employees of the Pekanbaru Abiseka Center, social companions, beneficiaries, and families of people with disabilities. The results of the study show that the ATENSI Program has made a positive contribution to increasing the independence of beneficiaries  through  mobility  assistance,  entrepreneurial

 

support, and the fulfillment of basic needs. The Pekanbaru Abiseka Center has a fairly

adequate institutional capacity, but the effectiveness of implementation is still constrained by budget limitations, professional personnel, and differences in types and levels of disability. This program needs to be strengthened through training diversification, human resource capacity building, and a continuous monitoring and evaluation system so that the goals of social empowerment of persons with disabilities can be achieved optimally.
