JAKARTA (November 21, 2024) – A collaboration between the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) and the Ministry of Home Affairs has been established to accelerate poverty alleviation efforts.

 

"One of the agreements we reached is to expedite the data synchronization process so that a unified database can be realized as soon as possible," said Minister of Social Affairs Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) after visiting the Ministry of Home Affairs on Thursday (11/21/2024).

 

During the visit, Gus Ipul, accompanied by Vice Minister Agus Jabo Priyono, was welcomed by Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian and several key officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

 

"It’s crucial to synchronize all matching data because data is dynamic. This can be addressed with regular updates, either weekly or monthly, which we will continuously evaluate," said Gus Ipul.

 

The meeting also agreed to establish an appropriate mechanism to ensure the data validity so that poverty alleviation efforts can be accurately targeted.

 

Meanwhile, Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian underlined the need for national and regional governments to work together to reduce poverty.

 

"The Minister of Home Affairs has committed to directing provinces, districts, and cities to align with the President's policies," Gus Ipul explained.
