BEKASI (June 3, 2021) – After making plans in 2020 for the next five years, the Program and Reporting Section of the Secretariat of the Directorate General of Poverty Handling  held a Strategic Plan Review of the Directorate General of Poverty Handling.

 

The 2020-2024 Strategic Plan is prepared based on the National Medium-Term Development Plan which contains the main substance of the vision, mission, goals, strategies, policies, and programs complemented by development activities. The purpose of the review is to strengthen the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for the next four years.

 

In his direction, the Director General of Poverty Handling, Asep Sasa Purnama hoped that there would be support for venture capital assistance from various parties, not only social assistance from the government but also loans from the association of state banks (Himbara) or ministries/agencies (K/L). "There is support for business capital assistance, not necessarily from social assistance, so that business capital assistance does not come from social assistance but is in the form of loans. For that in the future, we can cooperate with Himbara or other K/L,” he said when opening the activity (3/6).

 

He also added that there needs to be a program synergy, between the Poverty Handling program and Himbara or other K/L so that there may be policies that support poverty alleviation. Some of them are low loan interest when getting a loan and guiding them to improve their abilities and help market their products. “The Beneficiaries can struggle, with us preparing the ecosystem. So the flow will continue to run better," said the Director General of Poverty Handling.

 

Previously, the Secretary of the Directorate General of Poverty Handling, Nurul Farijati in her report said that this activity was carried out to produce several additional outputs. "This activity will produce additional outputs in the form of determining the SBML for 2022 and finalizing the monitoring instrument for evaluating the implementation of social assistance. In addition, of course, refinement of policies and strategies formulated through programs and activities so that they can answer future development challenges," said Nurul while accompanying the Director General.

 

These activities were attended by the Director of Poverty Handling Region I, Said Mirza Pahlevi, Director of Poverty Handling Region II, I Wayan Wirawan, Director of Poverty Handling Region III, AM Asnandar, Representatives of the Planning Bureau, Inspectorate General, and the Finance Bureau who were also present on a limited basis with the offline and online platforms.
