The Government of Indonesia’s subsidized rice program, Raskin, or Rice for the Poor, provides a nutritional safety net for the country’s 15 million poorest households as Indonesia's largest targeted social protection program. However, the program was plagued by leakages throughout the supply chain––for every 100 kilos of rice that left the warehouse, fewer than 50 kilos reached people’s homes.
Harvard’s team will use a rigorous evaluation and analyze the costs and benefits of transitioning to digital subsidy provision to inform the Government of Indonesia and other governments interested in digitizing their own social protection programs.
