This thesis examines the association between Indonesia’s Sembako Program and household dietary diversity and food expenditure allocation. Using Susenas data from 2021 and 2024, the study applies regression analysis across expenditure deciles and evaluates heterogeneity across income groups. The findings provide evidence on the program’s contribution to household food consumption and nutrition.
