Abstract

DKI Jakarta Provincial Government through the Department of Food Security, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DKPKP) provides Green Alley Program assistance aims to increasing the food security of Jakarta citizens. In this study, household food security before received Green Alley Program assistance and after households received Green Alley Program assistance were analyzed to find out the improvement. Food security before and after the household received Green Alley Program assistance was then analyzed by how many respondents and which survey question items have increased or decreased either significantly or insignificantly.
Food security was measured using Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) survey. This measurement tool was developed by FAO and has been used in measuring food security in 140 countries by the Gallup World Poll. In contrast to other measures of food security, this measurement is carried out using the Rasch Model. The results of the analysis using the Rasch Model were then measured repeatedly (time series) in the form of Stacking Analysis, Racking Analysis, and individual different tests.
The results showed that the Green Alley Program reduced the prevalence of food insecurity by 8.83%. The results of the Stacking Analysis and individual differences test in logit respondent scores indicate that there are 25% of households that have experienced a significant reduction in food insecurity. Furthermore, the results of Racking Analysis and individual differences in the logit respondent score indicate that the HEALTHY items decreased significantly after households received Green Alley Program assistance. Significant decrease in HEALTHY items indicates that households experienced a significant increase in the experience of eating healthy foods after receiving Green Alley Program assistance. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that the recipients of the Green Alley Program distribution assistance can continue to expand by DKPKP DKI Jakarta.
