Bappenas Conducts an Assessment at “Budi Luhur” Mental Disability Center
BANJARBARU
(April 7, 2021) - The Ministry of National Development Planning/National
Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) paid a visit to conduct an Assessment of
Programs and Services for Persons with Mental Disabilities at the Budi Luhur
Banjarbaru Mental Disability Center.
Located in the meeting room of “Budi Luhur” Center, the
3-person Assessment Team of Bappenas was welcomed directly by the Head of “Budi
Luhur” Center, Herry Pawoko, and continued with the presentation of the Profile
of “Budi Luhur” Center and the Social Rehabilitation Assistance Service Program
(ATENSI). After that, questions and answers session was held between the Team
of Bappenas and the Head of the Center for Disabilities, Budi Luhur Banjarbaru.
Adhi Rochman Prana as the First-level Planner from Bappenas
explained that the Assessment of Programs and Services for Persons with Mental
Disabilities is to follow up on the mandate of Government Regulation Number 70
of 2019 on Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation of Respect, Protection, and
Fulfillment of Rights of Persons with Disabilities to prepare a Regional Action
Plan for Persons with Disabilities (RAD PD). For this reason, a mapping of
programs and services from the Regional Government is needed to formulate
inclusive and integrated planning for Persons with Disabilities.
In this regard, the Directorate of Poverty Alleviation
and Community Empowerment of Bappenas conducted a Field Visit and outreach
related to the Draft RAD PD. "Thank you, Budi Luhur, for the opportunity,
and we will make this as material in the preparation of planning," added
Adhi.
The Head of the Center for Disabilities, Budi Luhur, highly appreciated the activity of preparing this Regional Action Plan for Persons with Disabilities. "Hopefully what we convey will later become materials for development planning by Bapennas, especially rehabilitation services for mental disabilities," said Herry Pawoko.
