Yohanis Sakke Palitean — 2025-06-30

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the impact of the Family Hope Program (PKH) on alleviating extreme poverty in Mimika District. The main focus is to assess the effectiveness of government social assistance in reducing the number of extremely poor families using a panel data approach.

Research methodology: Using panel data analysis methods through Fixed Effects (FE) and Random Effects (RE) models. The selection of the FE and RE models is based on the consideration that panel data allows for controlling unobserved heterogeneity between observation units. The Hausman test will be used to determine the most appropriate model between FE and RE. Data processing in this study was carried out using Eviews version 7.2.

Results: Social assistance through PKH has a significant effect on reducing extreme poverty in Mimika District.The number of extremely poor families decreased from 3,709 families in 2022 to 2,691 families in 2024. Regression results indicate that every increase in PKH assistance contributes to a decrease in the number of extremely poor individuals.The program's effectiveness varies across districts, especially in remote areas with poor infrastructure.

Conclusions: The Family Hope Program (PKH) has proven effective in helping to reduce extreme poverty in Mimika District. The conditional assistance provided through PKH has improved the welfare of beneficiary families, although its effectiveness differs across regions depending on infrastructure and access to basic services.

Limitations: The variation in program effectiveness across districts indicates limitations in infrastructure and access to basic services (education and healthcare), which affect program success.This study does not deeply explore local social, cultural, and economic factors that may also influence program outcomes.

Contribution: Provides empirical evidence on the effectiveness of conditional social assistance (PKH) in reducing extreme poverty in underdeveloped regions. Offers policy recommendations for local governments to better allocate and optimize social assistance programs based on infrastructure conditions and access to public services in each district.

Research/methodology: This research adopts a quantitative descriptive approach using secondary data from 2019 to 2024, collected from the Regional Revenue Agency (BAPENDA) of Mimika Regency. Data collection was conducted through documentation and interviews. Advertising tax potential was calculated using the formula P=R×S×D×PrP = R\times S\times D\times PrP=R×S×D×Pr, while effectiveness was analyzed using standard ratios compared to both revenue targets and estimated tax potential.

Results: The billboard tax potential in Mimika Regency showed consistent growth, from IDR 3.9 billion in 2019 to IDR 6.2 billion in 2024. Tax revenue consistently exceeded annual targets, with an average effectiveness ratio of 107.71%, categorized as very effective. However, effectiveness based on potential was relatively low, averaging 60.81%, indicating a significant gap between potential and actual revenue collection.

Conclusions: While the tax collection based on set targets is highly effective, the overall revenue still falls short of the actual potential, reflecting underutilized sources. This implies the need for improved tax object data collection and more optimal revenue management.

Limitations: The study is limited to secondary data analysis from a single regional agency, which may not fully capture taxpayer compliance behavior or enforcement challenges.

Contribution: This study contributes to local fiscal policy by highlighting the gap between revenue potential and realization, offering insights for optimizing regional tax collection strategies.
