The Posdaya model combines and converges the MDGs, the eight functions of the familes, and even the HDI into a single compact and streamlined concept for social development with the family as focus. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the performance of Posdaya in term of its secretariats, partnerships, education, economics, health, and the environment aspects. The study revealed that the performance variability of Posdaya was 89.09 (medium category), it showed that such Posdaya is lack of its partnership, economy and environment. Whereas for the growth status of Posdaya, they were classified into three classes, namely Pemula, Madya, and Mandiri. Eighty percent (80%) out of the evaluated Posdayas, they fall under Posdaya Madya. Better management of the immediate environment of Posdaya, enabled them to manage better their secretarial, partnership, economic, and health aspects. While for the educational performance, it was not correlate very much except with the secretarial aspects, which its correlation was quite significant, at level 0.05.References
