Abstract
Rastra is one of the social aids organized by Indonesian government to help the poor reduce their burden on the household. However, in 2017 the government amended this polic, called Non-cash food Assistance (BPNT). This new policy was operative based on 5 benchmarks of the alteration in attitudes and the behavior of the public and members of the bureaucracy, the alteration in leadership style, the efficiency of using sources, and the reduction of legalistic approaches. This research was commenced in November 2018 and aimed to analyze the transformation of Rastra Policy into BPNT, especially in Kalisat village, Jember district. The author revealed that this change had aimed to manage the stock of rice and the price because the government shared the aids once a month. The research data was taken from Kalisat village administration office which received the Rastra and each e-Warung organized by BPNT. The present study employed quantitative method. The author argued that, as the endeavour for poverty reduction, this policy needed improvement related to the target, the timing, the quality of the aids, and e-Warung readiness. The author contends that this realignment should be done based on the readiness of each infrastructur.
