Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Head of the Domestic Policy Strategy Agency\n(BSKDN) of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), Yusharto\nHuntoyungo, has reminded that innovations should not be merely\nadministrative in nature but must also deliver real impacts for\nsociety.<\/p>\n
\u201cInnovations should not just be administrative programmes, but their\nbenefits should touch on the real needs of the community,\u201d said Yusharto\nin his statement in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n
He emphasised this while serving as a speaker at the Socialisation\nand Technical Guidance (Bimtek) event on Regional Innovations organised\nby the Regional Planning, Research, and Innovation Agency (Bapperida) of\nNorth Hulu Sungai Regency at the Abdul Wahid Amuntai Building.<\/p>\n
On that occasion, Yusharto also stressed that regional innovations\nmust be oriented towards community needs and capable of concretely\naddressing various public issues.<\/p>\n
According to him, regional innovations are an important instrument in\nimproving the performance of local government administration, as\nmandated by regulations.<\/p>\n
Therefore, he assessed that every innovation developed must meet the\nprinciples of utility, effectiveness, replicability, and\nsustainability.<\/p>\n
He highlighted the importance of an evidence-based policy approach in\nformulating and developing regional innovations. With strong data and\nanalysis support, the resulting policies will be more on target,\naccountable, and able to minimise the risk of failure.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is very important, something that we must all pay attention to;\nevery innovation must be supported by clear data and analysis, so that\nits presence does not just become a momentary breakthrough but can\ndevelop into sustainable policies,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Yusharto encouraged the North Hulu Sungai Regency Government (Pemkab)\nto strengthen the innovation ecosystem through cross-sector\ncollaboration, namely with academics, the business world, and the\ncommunity. Such synergy, according to him, is very important in creating\ninnovations that are adaptive and responsive to the dynamics of regional\nneeds.<\/p>\n
Yusharto also reminded of the importance of periodic monitoring and\nevaluation of innovation implementation. This is necessary to ensure\nthat innovations remain relevant, develop, and provide optimal impacts\nfor society.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe work of building innovations cannot be done alone; it must\ninvolve many parties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As additional information, the North Hulu Sungai Regency Government\nhas been assessed to have shown positive performance in developing\nregional innovations.<\/p>\n
Based on the Regional Innovation Index (IID) achievements, North Hulu\nSungai Regency has successfully maintained the \u201cHighly Innovative\u201d\npredicate for three consecutive years in 2023, 2024, and 2025.\nNevertheless, strengthening is still needed in aspects of quality,\nsustainability, and expansion of innovation distribution across various\ngovernment affairs.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bskdn-head-innovations-must-be-beneficial-not-just-programmes-1777294325", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
