13 Years of PKH Proven in Opening Access to Health and Education Services

BELITUNG (18 December 2020) - Director of Family Social Security (JSK), Rachmat Koesnadi, mentioned the importance of the Family Hope Program (PKH) to have the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI). This was conveyed during the SKKNI Verification Design of PKH Human Resources (SDM) activities.

Rachmat said that for thirteen years PKH in Indonesia has been proven to help Beneficiary Families (KPM) in access to health services, education, social welfare and financial inclusion. "So, PKH HR should have its own certification," said Rachmat in Belitung, Friday (18/12).

In addition, Rachmat also hoped that the PKH HR RSKKNI would be implementable and in accordance with the main duties and functions of PKH HR. "We hope that RSKKNI SDM PKH will provide certainty and become the basis for the formulation of a PKH HR management system starting from employment status, certification schemes, remuneration systems, and career paths," he hoped.

Briefly, he also reminded the importance of all PKH HR positions in the Minister of Social Affairs Regulation No.1 of 2018 to be accommodated in this RSKKNI.

"If all positions are accommodated, this will strengthen the implementation of PKH as a national priority program," he added.

Particularly, he expressed his appreciation and gratitude for the efforts of all parties who have supported the preparation of the PKH HR RSKKNI.

"Especially, the Social Worker and Social Counselor Professional Development Center (Pusbangprof Peksos Pensos) has overseen PKH HR RSKKNI since 2019," said this bespectacled man.

The PKH HR RSKKNI Verification Activity was attended by experts and practitioners from the Social Work Certification Institute, Community Empowerment LSP, Community Empowerment Facilitator LSP / KMN READSI Program of the Ministry of Agriculture, Community Empowerment Consultants, Directorate General of Community Development for the Village Government of the Ministry of Home Affairs, National Consultants for the Ministry's Municipal Program, Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, and University.
