JAKARTA (27 April 2021) - The Ministry of Social Affairs concentrates the budget planning (RKA-K/L) for disaster management, especially in the southern coastal areas.

 

"The Minister of Social Affairs advised, please leave it to areas that are in the red zone, especially along the south coast, which faces directly to the Indian Ocean, so that the budget is concentrated on disaster management," said the Secretary of the Directorate General of Social Protection and Security of the Ministry of Social Affairs, Robben Rico, conveyed the message from the Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini, when he opened the Activity of Strengthening the Planning Applicator of the Directorate General of Social Protection and Security for the Year 2021 in Jakarta, Tuesday (27/4)

 

Applicators at the regional level are asked to be serious in compiling the RKA-K/L document, including deconcentration funds, because according to him, applicators in the regions are an extension of the central government.

 

"We feel, it is impossible to handle everything. So, I ask all officials at the Provincial Social Services to be serious and not underestimate it," said Robben in front of central and regional applicators.

 

RKA-K/L is a planning and budgeting document containing the programs and activities of a K/L and as an elaboration of the work plan of the K L in one fiscal year, as well as the budget required to implement it.

 

Meanwhile, deconcentration funds are funds that represent the delegation of functions or authorities to the government under the K/L, usually carried out by the governor / regional government.

 

Furthermore, he emphasized that the budget disbursed by K/L, in this case, the Ministry of Social Affairs, to the regions, must have clear outputs. "This is not a routine activity, but actually an activity that we have to do and we are accountable for," he said.

 

For this reason, he hopes that if problems are encountered in the field, a permanent solution will be found immediately, not just a temporary solution and will be repeated in the following day.
