BEKASI (March 25, 2021) - The Indonesian Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini, opened the Technical Coordination Meeting (Rakornis) for the Social Rehabilitation Program at the Aneka Bhakti II Building, Bekasi. This event was held to coordinate social rehabilitation program policies to the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) within the Directorate General of Social Rehabilitation.
This coordination meeting will prepare plans for the development and expansion of the ATENSI Creation Center in each UPT by maximizing the functions of the buildings and buildings owned, modernizing equipment and regulations for the implementation of the UPT's tasks.
In addition, this Rakornis also discusses the development of multifunctional services in each social rehabilitation center. Now the center is directed to be able to provide services to all social rehabilitation clusters, namely Children, Elderly, Persons with Disabilities, Victims of Drug Abuse as well as Persons with Social Deviance Issues and Victims of Trafficking in Persons in the short term.
Gradually, in the medium term, it will function to serve various social service needs, including referrals for the poor and other vulnerable groups.
Risma said that to produce good outputs, cooperation is needed, both between Echelon I Work Units and between Social Rehabilitation Centers. "Integration is important to accelerate beneficiaries out of poverty. We cannot communicate alone, both between Echelon I Work Units and between Social Rehabilitation Centers so that our goals (targets) are achieved, namely the welfare of the community," said Risma.
Risma directs Center to do innovations. "For example, the output is like being able to provide adaptive wheelchairs for friends with disabilities," said Risma.
In addition, Risma also said that realizing a multifunctional center was not easy. "It is not easy indeed as it requires special skills in providing services, for example services for persons with disabilities, services for children who need special protection, the elderly, victims of drug abuse and persons with social deviance issues and victims of trafficking in persons. So this technical meeting will discuss these multifunctional services, but we certainly can," said the Minister of Social Affairs.
This multi-functional service will in the future accelerate the response to beneficiaries in need in the coverage area of the center. "If we can help people a lot, why don't we do it," said Risma.
For information, the Directorate General of Social Rehabilitation of the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs prioritizes groups that experience obstacles, difficulties, or disturbances in carrying out their social functions. This includes people who have a life that is not humanely worth it.

For information, the Directorate General of Social Rehabilitation of the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs prioritizes groups that experience obstacles, difficulties, or disturbances in carrying out their social functions. This includes people who have a life that is not humanely worth it.
For example, prioritizing the budget for the needs of persons with disabilities. "The Ministry of Social Affairs has optimized the budget for the manufacture of electric wheelchairs. This chair is for friends with disabilities who need it, both people with cerebral palsy and people with hydrocephalus.
The policy of the social rehabilitation program has a differentiation between the technical directorate and the UPT. The technical directorate implements programs indirectly, such as prevention campaigns, publications, socialization, education and information expansion, technical guidance, policy reflection, supervision, monitoring and evaluation, formulation of guidelines and social advocacy. On the other hand, the UPT with the new branding of social services carries out direct services through Social Rehabilitation Assistance (ATENSI).
ATENSI uses a family, community, and/or residential based approach through activities to support the fulfillment of a decent living, social care and/or child care, family support, therapy (physical, psychosocial, mental spiritual), vocational training and entrepreneurship development, social assistance and support, and accessibility support.
Each UPT is directed to develop the ATENSI Creation Center (SKA) as a center for entrepreneurship and vocational development as well as media for promoting the work of beneficiaries in one area. The ATENSI Creation Centers that have been inaugurated are the Pangudi Luhur Training Center in Bekasi and the Kartini Disability Center in Temanggung.
The Director General of Social Rehabilitation, Harry Hikmat, reported that the ATENSI Creation Center at Pangudi Luhur Training Center Bekasi is full of visitors every day, from the culinary center, fishing pond to agro-tourism. The number of visitors until March 24, 2021 was 3,465 people, with a total gross profit of IDR 28.4 million.
Meanwhile, the ATENSI Creation Center at Kartini Center in Temanggung has managed to sell 187 pieces of Ciprat Batik. The sales proceeds have also been directly given to the beneficiaries who make splashed batik. In less than a month, SKA visitors reached 1,710 people, the total turnover at SKA Kartini as of March 24, 2021 reached IDR 67 million with a gross profit of IDR 12.4 million.
