BALI (October 16, 2020) - The Ministry of Social Affairs helps meet the basic needs of the community to face the pandemic through various Social Safety Net (JPS) programs.
Minister of Social Affairs Juliari P. Batubara together with the Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection I Gusti Ayu Bintang Puspayoga, accompanied the Chair of the Indonesian Parliament (DPR RI), Puan Maharani, who was present in the midst of the Balinese people. He was present on the Island of the Gods to hand over assistance to the Ministry of Social Affairs' Social Safety Net (JPS) program for people affected by COVID-19. Bali is one of the places that is most affected by tourism because the average population works and depends on their daily income from the tourism sector.
"I am here with the Minister of Social Affairs in the context of the supervisory function and synergy between the DPR and the government in order to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic. It requires cooperation from all parties. It can't be one by one, it can't be one person, it can't be just one institution. However, how can this mutual cooperation be carried out together? This assistance is for all provinces in Indonesia," said Puan Maharani.
The government through the Ministry of Social Affairs has prepared several JPS programs, including Cash Social Assistance, Non-Cash Food Assistance, Non-PKH Basic Food Program, and Rice Social Assistance Program.

The impact of the pandemic has been felt by almost all sectors. The spread of the COVID-19 outbreak to remote villages resulted in a sluggish economic sector which greatly affected people's income and purchasing power.
On this occasion, there was also a symbolic handover of Cash Social Assistance (BST), Rice Social Assistance (BSB) and Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) for the basic food program by the Chair of the Indonesian House of Representatives accompanied by the Minister of Social Affairs and the Minister of PPPA.
