Highlighting Basarnas's strategic role in the 2025-2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan, particularly in disaster resilience and transportation safety, Pambudy emphasised the need for accelerated capacity building, integrated policy support, adequate operational funding, equipment modernisation, and human resource enhancement to protect lives and ensure economic stability.

        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Minister of National Development Planning\/Head\nof the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) Rachmat Pambudy\nsupports the strengthening of the National Search and Rescue Agency\n(Basarnas) within the national Search and Rescue (SAR) system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not an administrative body, but an operational one with very\nsignificant responsibilities. Its duties put lives at risk, both for\nthose being rescued and those doing the rescuing,\u201d he stated during an\naudience with the Head of Basarnas, Air Marshal TNI Mohammad Syafii,\naccording to an official statement in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>In the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025-2029,\nBasarnas is noted to have a strategic role in supporting national\npriorities, particularly disaster resilience and transportation safety.\nThis role contributes to public protection, strengthening national\nconnectivity, and maintaining the stability of economic activities,\nincluding logistics and mobility.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Basarnas is an important part of the national risk\nmanagement system.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, he continued, accelerated steps are needed to ensure that\nRPJMN targets can be achieved optimally through capacity strengthening,\nsystem transformation, and more integrated policy support.<\/p>\n<p>Rachmat Pambudy emphasised the importance of adequate operational\nbudget support, given that search and rescue activities cannot be\ndelayed. Improvements and modernisation of equipment to support\noperations are also necessary, as well as strengthening human resource\ncapacity to meet the mandates of laws and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Indonesia\u2019s position in the Ring of Fire makes it prone\nto major disasters such as megathrust events, making the strengthening\nof the search and rescue system increasingly crucial.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of National Development Planning conveyed that there is\na shared vision and mission in efforts to strengthen Basarnas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that all efforts and plans that have been prepared can be\nimmediately followed up together with the ranks of the Ministry of\nNational Development Planning\/Bappenas. I will also continue to monitor\nthe development and strengthening of Basarnas going forward,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>",
