The purpose of this community service activity is to analyze how the use of the BANGKIT application affects the accuracy of the poverty administration system in Garawastu Village. The activity method is carried out through three stages, namely preparation, implementation and evaluation. Population data collection using the BANGKIT application for 129 families registered as poor is carried out directly by filling in poor population data into the digital form available in the BANGKIT application.
