Minutes of Village Meeting for BLT Village Cash Assistance

The implementation of the Special Village Meeting (Musdesus) to determine the Beneficiary Families (KPM) for BLT Village Cash Assistance is a mandatory step in the acceleration of extreme poverty eradication. This process requires formal documentation, including Minutes of the Meeting (Berita Acara), minutes of discussion (notulen), attendance lists, and photographic documentation.

These administrative documents serve as authentic proof of the program’s implementation at the village level. This process directly implements Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 4 of 2022 concerning the Acceleration of Extreme Poverty Eradication.

Musdes Agenda

The standard agenda for the validation and finalization meeting includes:

1. Presentation of the initial data of potential BLT Village beneficiaries.
2. Explanation of the eligibility criteria for beneficiaries.
3. Validation, finalization, and formal determination of the Beneficiary Families (KPM).

Beneficiary Eligibility Criteria

The determination of beneficiaries follows a strict priority hierarchy to ensure targeted assistance:

1. Primary Priority: Poor families residing in the village who are registered in Decile 1 of the extreme poverty eradication targeting data.
2. Secondary Priority: If no Decile 1 data is found, the village may select beneficiaries from Deciles 2 through 4.
3. Alternative Criteria: If Deciles 1–4 are unavailable, the village may determine beneficiaries based on the following indicators:
   • Loss of primary livelihood.
   • Families with members suffering from chronic/prolonged illness or disabilities.
   • Families not currently receiving PKH (Family Hope Program) social assistance.
   • Households consisting of a single elderly person (living alone).

Legal Formalization

The final list of Beneficiary Families produced during the Musdes must be legalized through either a Village Head Regulation (Perkades) or a Village Head Decree (SK Kepala Desa). This legal step ensures that the disbursement of funds from the Village Budget is transparent and auditable.
