The cattle assistance program is one of the government's strategies to improve the income and welfare of rural communities, particularly Indigenous Papuan (OAP) farmers in Sorong Regency. However, the success of utilizing the assistance varies among beneficiaries, requiring an evaluation of program implementation and the factors influencing its outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the cattle assistance program and identify the factors affecting the success of cattle rearing among Indigenous Papuan farmers. The study was conducted in Sorong Regency and involved 127 Indigenous Papuan cattle farmers who received government assistance. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results showed that most beneficiaries were of productive age, had elementary to secondary educational backgrounds, and possessed varying levels of farming experience. The cattle assistance program contributed positively to livestock ownership and household income, although the overall level of success was categorized as moderate. Regression analysis revealed that education level (p<0.05) and farming experience (p<0.01) significantly influenced the success of cattle rearing, while age and household dependency ratio had no significant effect. These findings indicate that strengthening human resource capacity through education, training, and technical assistance is essential to improving the effectiveness and sustainability of cattle assistance programs for Indigenous Papuan farmers in Sorong Regency.
