JAKARTA (April 27th 2020) - The COVID-19 pandemic has not prevented the Ministry of Social Affairs from building an Integrity Zone (ZI) towards a Corruption Free Area (WBK) / Clean Serving Bureaucratic Area (WBBM). The Inspectorate General as the Internal Assessment Team (TPI) within the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs also took an active role in this effort by conducting an initial evaluation.

To develop ZI towards WBK / WBBM, the Inspectorate General scheduled a video conference with several work units within the Directorate General of Social Rehabilitation and the Directorate General of Poverty Handling to present Period I of ZI Development towards WBK / WBBM.

There are ten work units scheduled to take part in the video conference which will be held on April 24, 27 and 28, 2020. The four work units that have been presented the results of Period I of ZI Development on 24 April 2020 are BRSPDM Phala Martha Sukabumi, BRSPDM "Margo Laras" Pati, BBRVPD "Cibinong", Bogor and BRSAMPK "Handayani" Jakarta.

Two work units that made a presentation on April 27, 2020 were BRSPDM Budi Luhur Banjarmasin and BRSKPN "Galih Pakuan" Bogor.  Meanwhile, the four working units scheduled to make presentations on April 28, 2020 are LRSLU "Minaula" Kendari, LRSODHIV "Kahuripan" Sukabumi, Directorate General of Poverty Handling and BBRSBG "Kartini" Temanggung.

On this occasion, the work unit will present an independent assessment of each work unit. The Inspectorate General has the role of conducting an initial evaluation of these work units. The evaluation carried out by the Inspectorate General is intended as a first step before the related work units are proposed to the PAN-RB Ministry to get the WBK / WBBM predicate.

In the video conference which was held on April 27, 2020, the Inspector General, Dadang Iskandar, Secretary of the Inpectorate General, Arif Nahari and Osep Mulyani as Head of the General Section of the Inspectorate General Secretariat participated in the presentation of ZI Development towards WBK / WBBM. Dadang advised the work units to change their mindset, prioritizing convenience, speed and transparency of service. In addition, the work units are also expected to routinely conduct monitoring and evaluation and manage publications through the media. Dadang also hopes that the working unit will initiate new innovations in service.
