This brings three major benefits for policymakers: 1) the evidence available for evaluating the impacts of the PKH program on household welfare is extensive and sound; 2) the program design and the impact analysis design have generated additional excitement, both nationally and internationally, about the program, its goals and social assistance initiatives in general; and 3) the results and underlying data will be made publicly available, which has already spurred interest in additional evaluations that will stock the shelves of social assistance policy research libraries. PKH's success in delivering real benefits to the very poor and in changing behaviors deserves further support and encouragement. PKH's initial weaknesses in implementation and delivery deserve continuing attention and thoughtful solutions for greater effectiveness. The Government of Indonesia (GOI) plans on expanding the PKH program to as many as three million households; while it is doing so, it should continue to refine implementation, coordinate and collaborate with affiliated service providers in health, education, and local government services, and continue developing a corps of organized, enthusiastic, and skilled facilitators who can assist very poor households in achieving healthier behaviors.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACTIVITY BUDGETADMINISTRATIVE COSTADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEADALLOCATIONANTENATAL CAREARCHITECTUREBANK OFFICEBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBLOCK GRANTSBREASTFEEDINGBUDGET ALLOCATIONBUDGET DATABUDGET EXECUTIONBUDGET FORMULATIONBUDGET IMPLEMENTATIONBUDGET IMPLICATIONSBUDGET PLANNINGBUDGET REPORTINGBUDGETINGCAPITAL INVESTMENTCASH INFLOWSCASH PAYMENTSCASH TRANSFERCATEGORIES OF EXPENDITURECENTRAL GOVERNMENTCENTRAL GOVERNMENT SPENDINGCHANGES IN HEALTH OUTCOMESCHECKSCHILD HEALTH SERVICESCHILD LABORCIVIL SERVANTSCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY GROUPSCOMMUNITY HEALTHCOMPOSITION OF EXPENDITURESCONDITIONALITIESCONDITIONALITYCOST EFFECTIVENESSDATA ENTRYDECENTRALIZATIONDEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICSDEMOGRAPHIC COMPOSITIONDEMOGRAPHIC PROFILESDESCRIPTIONDEVELOPING COUNTRYDISABLEDDISBURSEMENTDISTRICTSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC CLASSIFICATIONECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIES OF SCALEEDUCATION EXPENDITURESEDUCATION LEVELSEDUCATION PROGRAMEDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATIONAL LEVELELEMENTARY SCHOOLSELIGIBILITY CRITERIAEMPLOYEEEMPOWERMENTENROLLMENTEXPENDITURE LEVELSEXPENDITURE PRIORITIESEXPENDITURES ON HEALTHFACILITATIONFAMILIESFEMALEFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITYFLOW OF FUNDSFLOW OF INFORMATIONFLOWS OF INFORMATIONGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGOVERNMENT SPENDINGHEALTH ASSISTANCEHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE FACILITIESHEALTH CLINICHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH EXPENDITUREHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH RESEARCHHEALTH SERVICESHOUSEHOLD INCOMESHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCESIMMUNIZATIONINCOME LEVELSINEQUALITIESINFLATIONINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINTERVENTIONINVESTINGIRONLACK OF INFORMATIONLAWSLIBRARIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCALITIESMALFEASANCEMATURITYMEDICAL TREATMENTMEDIUM TERM EXPENDITUREMEDIUM TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORKMEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENTMIGRANT WORKERMINISTRY OF FINANCEMORTALITYNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNURSESNUTRITIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSOPERATING EXPENSESOPPORTUNITY COSTSOUTCOME INDICATORSOUTREACHPAYMENT DELAYSPERIODIC REVIEWSPERSONNEL EXPENSESPHYSICAL CAPITALPOSITIVE IMPACTSPOST OFFICEPOSTNATAL CAREPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRIVATE PROVIDERSPRODUCTIVE INVESTMENTSPROGRAM DESIGNPROGRAM IMPLEMENTATIONPROGRAMSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWPUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC TRANSPORTPURCHASING POWERQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF SERVICESREGIONAL GOVERNMENTSREVENUE SHARINGRURAL AREASSAFETYSAFETY NETSALARY COSTSSANITATIONSCHOLARSHIPSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL OPERATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE FACILITIESSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVISIONSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESOCIALIZATIONSOURCE OF INFORMATIONSTART-UPSTATE TREASURYSTOCK EXCHANGESUPPLY CHAINTAXTOTAL EXPENDITURETOTAL SPENDINGTRANSFER PAYMENTTUITIONTURNOVERUMBRELLA ORGANIZATIONURBAN AREASVILLAGEVILLAGE LEVELVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDSYOUTHReportWorld Bank10.1596/26697
