JAKARTA (3 May 2020) - The Minister of Social Affairs, Juliari P Batubara, has instructed his staff to continue to monitor the process of distribution of social assistance to COVID-19 affected communities.

I am here to ensure that the distribution of food assistance from the President in this place goes fast and on target," said the Head of BP3S. Sunday, 3/5/2020

The Sembako Bansos reach 1.9 million families with a value of Rp. 600,000 distributed twice a month.

At present the distribution of Social Aid also cooperates with PT Pos Indonesia, which is supported by TNI personnel and assisted by RW and RT Heads in the local area, to the basic food aid units to beneficiary families," explained the Head of BP3S

On the same occasion, the head of RW 10 of Manggarai Urban Village said that in his area there were people who had received assistance from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, but also received more Social Assistance from the President, while there were still residents who had not yet received assistance.

"As stated by the Minister of Social Affairs. If there are people who have received assistance, but it turns out that they have already received assistance, for example from the DKI Provincial Government, it is better to provide this basic food aid to neighbors who have not yet received," Syahabuddin answered

The Head of BP3S hopes that the various steps undertaken by the Ministry of Social Affairs will facilitate the efforts of regional heads to help communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"To avoid the buildup of assistance to the same person, it is necessary to update the right data," he said
