The strategies, processes and performance indicators employed by the Ministry refer to

To support the efforts of social services provision delivered by social care institutions for children
and other population groups, the Ministry of Social Affairs implemented the Subsidy
Programme for Social Care Institutions
Program SubsidiPanti established by private institutions
and communities that actively provided social services to disadvantaged people including
children. The subsidy programme was a continuation of the same programme that had
been conducted in the previous five years. Under the same initiative, the Ministry of Social Affairs
aimed to revitalize the social care institutions that were operating under its authority prior to
regional autonomy decentralization.
As part of the social rehabilitation programme, the Ministry of Social Affairs conducted social
service activities for children and was essentially tasked with restoring the main function of
childcare to families. Through childcare institutions founded by the Ministry, childcare
institutions for children’s protection panti sosial perlindungan anak
, Social Development Centres SDC, and Social Protection Homes

, the government provided temporary institutional care and protection to children who
had been abandoned to live on the streets while attempting to return them to the care of their
families. These activities were conducted by both central and local governments.
Another important programme that reflects the new approach adopted by the Ministry of
Social Affairs is the Social Welfare Programme for Children
ProgramKesejahteraanSosial Anak, PKSA. The implementation of the
PKSA programme was based on Presidential Instructions Nos. 12010 and 32010 on the
Acceleration of Implementation of the National Development Priorities, which stated that
it is necessary to improve social assistance programmes for abandoned children, children
living or working on the street, disabled children, children facing criminal charges, and children
with special needs for protection. The PKSA is intended to cover these vulnerable children
whether they remain with their families or not. The programme implementation general
guidelines are detailed in the Ministry of Social Affairs Decree No. 15A2010, which defined the
PKSA programme as “intensive, comprehensive and sustainable efforts by central and local
governments and the community in the form of social services to fulfill children’s essential
needs, which include their basic needs, access to basic services, and access to empowering child
welfare institutions.”
The PKSA has five objectives: 1 increasing the responsibility of parents, families and
the community; 2 improving the services coverage and quality; 3 increasing the role
of child welfare institutions; 4 improving the performance of social workers; and 5
improving the regulations on child social welfare BAPPENAS, 2010. The programme has three
forms of assistance, as follows: 1. A cash transfer of IDR6,000 per day. The
money may be used for nutritional support purchasing staple foods, milk, vitamins and
side dishes and paying for school needs text

and school transport cost. The total amount of the transfer is IDR6,000 x 30 days x 10
months = IDR1,800,000, in a one-time transfer.
2. A remedial course for children with special educational needs who have a high risk of
dropping out of school due to academic issues. The source of funding for this remedial
course is from the cash transfer or from institutional operational costs.
3. A pre-remedial course mostly targeted at overweight children living in an institution
or children living or working on the street. The main objective of this activity is to help
children to pass their final primary school examinations ujian kesetaraan, since most of
them are not primary school graduates.
The programme, however, did not cover tuition or registration fees as these costs were covered
under the BOS programme see Chapter 4
