- Evaluate, internally and externally in collaboration with BPS the model used to rank households.
3. Update Program Beneficiaries

- Adjust participation in programs based on changes in household socioeconomic conditions, taking into account dependency on existing programs.
- Communicate and coordinate with ministries and government institutions on program implementation.
- Confirm program beneficiaries in accordance with the results of the 2015 update.

- On Demand Application (ODA) is an initial step to updating information on households through the involvement of local government. ODA needs to be pilot in several areas in 2015.
- Training on standard methods to rank households should be delivered to local governments and integrated into existing BPS training sessions.
