Eligibility criteria
The target of PKH is households and/or poor and vulnerable persons who are registered in the country’s Social Assistance Unified Database, maintained by the Poverty Reduction Team (TNP2K), having their health, education, and/or social welfare situation validated and stipulated by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Participating households must have at least one of the following: a pregnant or lactating woman; one or more children below 6 years of age; children aged 7-21 attending primary or secondary school; youth aged 16-21 years who have not yet completed basic education. Since November 2016, severely disabled or elderly people (70 years and older) in these households also receive additional transfers, as other programmes such as ASLUT and ASODKB/ASPDB are expected to be merged into PKH

Monitoring and evaluation mechanisms and frequency
Routine monitoring regularly gathers data from various forms (household data updates, student attendance verification, health verification, PKH beneficiary complaints, and non-beneficiary complaints), which are input in the PKH PMIS by field workers and establishes a set of performance indicators that are reported hierarchically upwards. Evaluation is selectively carried out to identify causal pathways to achieve programme results and is supposed to occur annually, although it was not carried out in 2016 A call centre for PKH started its operations in February 2018
