Design of Social Assistance Fund Management Information System as the Government Stimulus in the Pandemic Era

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a decrease in the inflation rate in Indonesia. The decline in
inflation is due to the low purchasing power of the people. To overcome this, the government needs to provide a
stimulus in the form of social assistance. However, the provision of social assistance caused problems in the
community; there are recipients who should not be entitled to receive, there are multiple recipients of social
assistance, and there are cuts in the amount of aid by village officials. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an
integrated management information system to overcome these problems. This study aims to develop a social
assistance fund management information system. This management information system has three components,
namely the community as the recipient of social assistance, the administrator as the channel of assistance and
the evaluator as auditor and monitor of social assistance fund distribution activities of distributing social
assistance funds. There are six stages in the distribution of assistance, namely: registration, feasibility
evaluation, decision making, payment, reporting, auditing and monitoring.
