The effectiveness is measured based on Subagyo's concept with 4 criteria, namely accuracy of program targets, program socialization, program objectives and program monitoring. This type of research uses descriptive qualitative. Data was taken from two sources, namely primary and secondary sources. The data collection method was carried out using interviews, observation and literature which was carried out by reading literature and then processing the data using qualitative analysis.
