The Ministry of Social Affairs will optimize efforts to reach and provide guidance to persons with disabilities whose number is estimated at 10.6% of the population or around 28.6 million people based on the 2019 National Socio-Economic Survey held by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
"Currently, the data for persons with disabilities that are included in the DTKS is only around 1.3 million. We need data on E-KTPs that already include the various disability codes and also the existence of an E-Family Card. We are preparing it in 2021," explained Harry.
The Director of Social Rehabilitation for Persons with Disabilities, Eva Rahmi Kasim also reiterated the importance of collecting data on Persons with Disabilities. "Let's create fast, productive and accurate data. We urge Organization of Persons with Disabilities (OPD) and Social Welfare Institutions (LKS) to further enhance synergy with all relevant parties in realizing a database of Persons with Disabilities," said Eva.
The Ministry of Social Affairs continues to develop the DTKS for Social Welfare Services Recipients (PPKS), among others, by including various types of disability in accordance with Law Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities.
"OPD and LKS must also be more pro-active to the Population and Civil Registration Service (Dukcapil) by collecting data on a shuttle basis because they are closer and know who, where and how the condition of Persons with Disabilities is," Eva appealed.
ICW researcher Dewi Anggraeni on this occasion also conveyed the results of a survey on the distribution of social assistance for persons with disabilities in DKI Jakarta. Of the respondents, 87% of the social assistance programs have been targeted for persons with disabilities. However, there are still 13% who are not eligible to receive social assistance but receive social assistance.
"Respondents gave several suggestions to improve the accuracy of social assistance for persons with disabilities, among others, given transportation money to take social assistance, all disabilities received social assistance and preferably in the form of money," said Dewi.
Dewi added that the respondents also gave suggestions regarding the form of social assistance that should be varied so that it is not monotonous and of high quality, re-collecting data if necessary. "Assistance is given directly to the recipient's address so there is no need to queue and there is no reduction in aid or extortion, and clearer information is needed about social assistance," said Dewi.
The results of the ICW survey stated that 42% of respondents are the breadwinners of families with incomes below Rp. 1 million. The majority of respondents admitted that the data collection was carried out by the OPD so it was very important for them to have an OPD. Respondents really hope that people with disabilities will be given more attention, that assistance will be given until the situation is normal and the distribution will be more even.
