Abstrakt: Yogyakarta province in Indonesia plagued with persistent poverty challenges for decades. There were several ways to reduce its poverty rate; one is through conditional cash transfer (CCT) scheme. This study aims to measure the impact of CCT program of Family Hope Program (PKH) on hosuehold poverty proxied by food and non-food consumption expenditure using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method. Using a large scale of survey data, this study disagregated the estimation in urban-rural areas. The result revealed that the PKH program has been successful in reducing poverty in impoverished households by significantly increasing their food and non-food consumption expenses. The program has had a more significant effect in rural regions than in urban. The impact is more profound in increasing food consumption expenditure. This underscores the program's effectiveness and the importance of its continuation or expansion to combat poverty further and improve the welfare of vulnerable households. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
