Abstract
Over the past two decades, the Indonesian state has embarked on a large and ever-growing social policy agenda to help the poor. Social assistance has evolved from simple distribution of rice and food packages to the electronically based provision of food rations, and from basic income support to the introduction of the expanding conditional cash transfers. The government has also extended education subsidies and provided health cost coverage for the poor.
