Kukuh Miroso Raharjo, Nabila Gresita Fitri

Abstract


This article examines the role of the Batu City Social Service in increasing the capacity of
socio-economically vulnerable women (PRSE) through empowerment programs that
include business capital assistance, motivational guidance, social, entrepreneurship, as
well as mentoring and monitoring. The research aims to describe the implementation of
the program, the process of determining beneficiaries, the form of assistance, and the
obstacles faced in the empowerment of PRSE. The research uses a qualitative descriptive
approach with a location in Batu City. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with
Social Service workers who handle the PRSE program and observation of the
implementation of activities. The results of the study show that the Social Service plays a
role in identifying potential recipients, assessing needs, preparing Cost Budget Plans,
disbursing assistance, assisting in the use of funds, and monitoring. The capital assistance
began to touch the PRSE target in October 2024 and is planned to be implemented in
December 2024, with assistance of IDR 10 million for 16 recipients. The main obstacles
are limited data and inaccuracy of citizen information. The program requires data
verification, coordination, and adaptive management so that empowerment is on target
and sustainable.
