Abstract. The COVID-19 disaster has spread all over Indonesia, causing a sense of laziness for people in
the economy by paying very large costs, limited activities, and even losing their jobs. The government through
the direct cash assistance program as a mitigation measure in reducing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,
but so far it has not been effective. The purpose of this study was to determine the ideal cooperative
governance model for the cash transfer program during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative
method with a descriptive approach. The results of this study indicate that the cash transfer program still has
many obstacles in distributing it to many people who are not on target, which is the result of collaboration
between stakeholders such as the Social Service, Population and Civil Registry Office, Village Government,
Village Community, Coordinator Team Field, and the COVID-19 Task Force Team. To increase cooperation
between these stakeholders by strengthening on several sides such as: First, the government conducts data
collection and systematic data collection between the recommendations of the names of beneficiaries from
the village with the approval by the Population and Civil Registry Office and the Social Service Office.
Second, the Government and the Community carry out monitoring and supervision. The desired impact is that
the temporary unconditional cash transfer program can run effectively and benefit people in need. This
program is a social network during the COVID-19 period.
