        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 The Association of District Regional Representative\nCouncils (Adkasi) and state-owned enterprise LKBN ANTARA have\nestablished a cooperation agreement in the field of news reporting to\namplify the voices and aspirations of regional governments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlhamdulillah, we have now established a memorandum of understanding\nbetween Adkasi and ANTARA. Whilst we represent the people, ANTARA\nreports on the people and their representatives,\u201d said Adkasi Chairman\nSiswanto during a podcast with ANTARA TV in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Siswanto stated that the collaboration will create a sustained news\nchannel to communicate the activities of regional government\nrepresentatives through Adkasi across all provincial\nrepresentations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reporting on the people and their representatives will now work\nin synergy, so that ANTARA, representing the people through its\nreporting, will be properly connected. Our hope is that Indonesian\nvoices are not only heard from the capital, not just from the nation\u2019s\ncapital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership, he noted, can serve as an inclusive bridge\nconnecting various Adkasi representations, comprising 37 provincial\ndelegations and 415 district-level delegations.<\/p>\n<p>Adkasi\u2019s role includes enhancing human resources capacity at the\nregional government level with the mission of unifying diverse interests\ntowards common objectives. The organisation represents 17,510\ndistrict-level representatives from various backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese diverse representatives must be united. This is where the\nassociation\u2019s function lies \u2014 to accommodate district-level\nrepresentatives and align them towards common goals, which we achieve\nthrough capacity building,\u201d Siswanto explained.<\/p>\n<p>Adkasi has also established a collaboration with the National\nResilience Institute (Lemhannas) of the Republic of Indonesia to conduct\na leadership consolidation course for regional leaders, scheduled for 14\nApril 2026 at the Military Academy in Magelang.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have already agreed with Lemhannas RI to implement the regional\nleadership consolidation course,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
