The criteria to be eligible for PUSAKA support are:

• Aged 60 and over,
• Widowed and from a poor family,
• Holding a residence card (KTP/national ID) and a letter of recommendation from the Head of Neighbourhood Association (RT/RW) and the Head of the Village (Lurah),
• Living within walking distance from the caregiver’s home.

However, in practice the programme was also open to the elderly who do not fulfil all the criteria (Do-Le & Raharjo, 2002).
