The scope of the Social Safety Net covers three areas, namely the health, education and social sectors. The social safety net in Sleman Regency from 2017 to 2021 is going well. Every year, the budget provided for JPS is IDR 10 billion. In the education sector, there were the most submissions compared to other fields from January 2019 to July 2020. This proves that the social safety net in the education sector is an alternative for people in the Sleman Regency area who experience difficulties in meeting education costs.
