Recipients, both family, community, and residential-based.

out in Makassar City and Gowa Regency with a target of 108 Service Recipients
in Makassar City, 119 Service Recipients for Gowa Regency, so that the total
for South Sulawesi Province is 227 Service Recipients.
The initial step was taken by the Assessment Team in carrying
out this activity was to coordinate with the Social Service of Makassar City
and Gowa Regency, accompanied directly by the Head of Persons with Disabilities
Hasnah Ahmad, Disability Companion of Makassar City Social Service, and the
Section Head of Social Welfare for Elderly and Persons with Disabilities Gowa Regency
Social Service. The Assessment Team went directly to the target location of
prospective ATENSI Program Service Recipients in South Sulawesi Province.
In the implementation of this initial assessment, the
Head of the Disability Center, Meohai Kendari, Budi Sucahyono emphasized that
the entire Initial Assessment Team must work seriously and thoroughly in
carrying out their duties. "Do not get the wrong target and cause chaos in
data collection/initial assessment, because this is a benchmark for the
implementation of a comprehensive assessment that will be carried out
later," said Budi.
