Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) is a government program in order to deal with poverty that provides social security in form of conditional cash transfer for very poor household. The objective of PKH is to decrease poverty through providing access to education and health service. Implementation of PKH has been done since 2007 in several cities in Indonesia that involves street-level bureaucrats�s role. But implementation of PKH is still far from expectation because there are still corruptions done by advisor of PKH itself. Different from other cities, Caturharjo Village applied a successful PKH�s fund distribution toward target group. Based on that fact, this research is aimed to analyze roles of street-level bureaucrats in implementation of PKH and performance of implementation PKH through several indicators in research field.
