The Very Poor Household Jalin Matra Program implemented by East Java Provincial Government is the answer to all poverty problems in East Java Province. The high number of poor people in East Java is the main reason this program exists as a solution. This program provides assistance in the form of business capital to very poor heads of households. The purpose of this research is to examine to what extent the successful implementation of the program can improve the peoples welfare. The research method used is descriptive in a qualitative approach. This research applied William N. Dunns policy evaluation theory as the policy benchmark, to analyze evaluations that can be examined with the criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, leveling, accuracy and responsiveness. The said policy evaluation theory is supported by Chambers Poverty Theory to explore more about the causes of the poverty. The evaluation of the very poor household jalin matra program took a case study in the village of Urek-Urek, Malang Regency, and happens to have only two criteria that went well, namely Efficiency and Responsiveness. Whereas the other evaluation criteria have not been fulfilled properly. Many things still need to be observed due too many shortcomings occured in the implementation of the policy programs. One example is the absence of a form of sustainability evaluation by the government in each village that receives assistance. The thing that has become the focus is the need for conformity of data that becomes a policy reference with the actual society conditions and conducts regular evaluation stages in each year of program implementation in the villages that become the policy targets.
