This thesis discusses the evaluation of the Family Strengthening Program in the Cikareo Community of SOS Children's Village Jakarta which generally aims to empower poor families in meeting the needs of their children. This research is a formative evaluation study with a qualitative approach that focuses on describing the implementation process of the family strengthening program carried out by SOS Children's Village Jakarta, as well as identifying and analyzing the supporting and inhibiting factors that can be used as the basis for the development of the program. The results showed that in the family strengthening program in the Cikareo Community, various problems emerged from the assisted families as program beneficiaries and SOS Children's Village Jakarta as program implementers. The problems that arise from assisted families are a dependency. Meanwhile, the obstacles that arise from the institution are the lack of educator staff resources and the initial implementation of the program which is not directed. In addition to obstacles, there are supporting factors that also appear in the implementation of the family strengthening program. Among them are the openness of the assisted families to the institution, the cooperation between educator staff, and so on that encourage program implementation.
