Don't Let One Person Miss the Social Assistance

Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini instructed all levels of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Social Services throughout Indonesia to really pay attention to the recipients of social assistance (bansos) so that no one is missing out on the social assistance.

"I ask that no one misses out on their assistance, if they are already registered in the recipient of the social assistance, it must be ensured that that person receives the assistance," said Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini in her speech at the Evaluation of the Distribution of Social Assistance for the Family Hope Program (PKH) delivered by the Director General Social Protection and Security Ministry of Social Affairs Pepen Nazaruddin in Jakarta (16/12).

"We have to optimize even one rupiah for one person, we should not think that the realization has been achieved for certain percentage because there are two or three people who have not received the assistance yet. We see in the field that they really need that assistance," said Pepen.

In this activity, the realization of each region will be discussed, we will reconcile with the Himbara, both at the center and the regions, so that later we report to the public that in 2021, the distribution of PKH social assistance can be optimal.

"Optimal in terms of distribution, optimal in terms of transactions. PKH assistants are required further how all (KPM) can make transactions, all can take advantage of their assistance, then how can KPM be empowered," said the Director General of Social Protection and Security.

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a program of providing conditional social assistance to Poor Families (KM) designated as beneficiary families of PKH as well as an effort to accelerate poverty reduction.

The activity was attended by Heads of Social Offices and Echelon III officials in charge of Social Security at Provincial Social Offices throughout Indonesia and 231 PKH Human Resources, both offline and online.
