Summary
Poverty is an unresolved problem, to date in Indonesia the poverty rate in 2019 is 9.22% or as many as 24.79 million people (BPS, 2019). The poverty rate especially in the regency of Bandung in 2016 reached 7.61% where this figure continues to decline even in 2018 reaching 6.65% (Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Bandung Regency, 2019) This figure means that within a period of two years Bandung Regency was able to reduce poverty to 1.01%. Suharto (2013) said that often social protection is partial, residual and fragmented so that the existing service system is not effectively implemented Another problem is the uncoordinated social protection which causes the program to overlap between agencies from the center and the regions (Arulpragasam, 2016; Rauch, 2005). Such conditions become an obstacle to social protection for the poor and vulnerable poor so that they do not get the services needed to escape the net of poverty
