Indragiri Hilir Regency is one of the districts where the number of positive cases of COVID-19 is quite high, and the death rate from the Covid-19 virus is the highest in Riau Province. Reflecting on the economic situation of the community, the local government of Indragiri Hilir Regency has made efforts to reduce the burden of each family head, especially the poor by providing social ministration. The purpose of this social ministration is to ease the burden on the community in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic situation. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Covid-19 social ministration in Indragiri Hilir Regency. This research is very important to find out whether the objectives of this program are achieved or not, in order to accelerate the handling. This study uses a qualitative approach. Primary and secondary data were collected using in-depth interviews, observation and documentation techniques. Interviews were conducted with key informants using purposive sampling method. After that the data was analyzed using N-Vivo 12. The results showed that there were still people who did not receive ministration, socialization related to social ministration was not optimal so that many people did not know about this ministration, besides those who were responsible for distributing social ministration were also less responsive to reports of people who did not receive ministration, so it was concluded that the distribution of social ministration was still not effective.
