Abstract

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is an important social protection program in Indonesia, aimed at improving the welfare of underprivileged communities by providing conditional social assistance. This study aims to analyze the benefits of PKH implementation as part of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) initiated by the United Nations (UN) for beneficiary families (KPM) in Pekanbaru City. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method by collecting data through interviews, observations, and document studies of several KPM and PKH facilitators. The results show that PKH implementation in Pekanbaru City provides tangible benefits in increasing beneficiary families' access to education and health services and improving economic welfare. This program also contributes directly to the achievement of several SDGs, particularly goal 1 (no poverty), goal 3 (healthy and prosperous lives), and goal 4 (quality education). However, challenges remain regarding the accuracy of beneficiary targeting and the continuation of economic benefits after the program is discontinued. Overall, PKH has proven to be an important tool in supporting the global commitment to sustainable development in line with the UN agenda to create more prosperous and inclusive societies.
