The Role of Family Hope Program Facilitators in the Capacity Building for Beneficiary Family Empowerment Groups

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the role of PKH facilitators in developing the capacity of KPM Empowerment Groups in Liang Bua Village, Rahong Utara District, Manggarai Regency. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Informants consisted of one PKH facilitator as the main informant and 15 KPM Empowerment Group members as supporting informants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Data validity was established through source and technique triangulation. Findings showed that the PKH facilitator performed four roles: facilitator, educator, representative, and technician. These roles were implemented through Family Capacity Building Meetings, a Joint Savings and Loan Business, local-potential-based training, motivation, access to external resources, and assistance in administration and group management. The facilitation improved members’ knowledge, skills, self-confidence, cooperation, and economic independence. The study also identified supporting factors and obstacles encountered by facilitator in developing the group’s capacity.
