Social assistance administration in Sleman Regency

Overview

In Sleman Regency, local authorities have raised concerns regarding the eligibility criteria for central government social assistance. Regent Harda Kiswaya noted that current rules, such as disqualifying individuals who hold more than one land certificate, may fail to accurately reflect the economic status of low-income residents. During a recent digitalization effort, only 29,000 out of 66,000 applicants were deemed eligible.

By early September 2026, registration for social protection services continued, with 123,779 households registered, representing approximately 30.62% of the targeted population. Data indicates a significant reliance on human intermediaries to navigate the digital system, as nearly 80% of registered households utilized agents for assistance rather than registering independently.
