1. Understanding the BPNT Program and Its Objectives
The Non-Cash Food Assistance Program (BPNT) from the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia is here as a smart solution to ease the economic burden of families in need. By providing non-cash access to food, the government not only aims to enhance food security but also encourages the community to engage in digital transactions.
In addition, BPNT is committed to ensuring balanced nutrition for beneficiaries, facilitating the distribution of social assistance, and empowering small businesses in the food sector, thereby supporting local economic growth.
With this more transparent and targeted approach, the government is determined to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda, namely reducing poverty and improving community welfare sustainably. This program is intended for Beneficiary Families (KPM) who are in the lowest 25% economically, giving them more control in meeting their daily food needs.
2. Requirements to Become a BPNT Recipient
Not all citizens can become recipients of Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) as there are strict requirements that must be met. According to the Regulation of the Director General of Handling the Poor of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, prospective recipients must meet three main criteria: first, registered as Beneficiary Families (KPM) in the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) with an income below the Regional Minimum Wage (UMR); second, not holding the status of a Civil Servant (PNS), a member of the TNI, or the police; and third, not currently receiving other similar social assistance.
With this step, the government is committed to ensuring that assistance reaches those who truly need it.
