Social Affairs Minister Tri Rismaharini revealed that the government was conducting empowerment programs as part of its efforts to overcome poverty. One of the ministry’s efforts was the National Economic Hero Program (PENA).
Delegates from the Social Affairs Ministry visited Japan on a three-day trip to study best practices in social rehabilitation services management and vulnerable groups, as well as disaster mitigation in the Land of the Rising Sun.
The ministry has identified 31,624 civil servants who have been receiving some form of social aid, such as non-cash food assistance (BPNT) or other forms of aids under the Family Hope Program (PKH), when it recently updated its Integrated Data for Social Welfare (DTKS) database of poor and vulnerable families.
