The programme, funded with Rp100 million per neighbourhood unit for infrastructure improvements like roads, drainage, and lighting, fosters citizen involvement and collective ownership to enhance safety, comfort, and economic independence. If successful, it could earn recognition from the central government during Mayor Maulana's tenure, highlighting the importance of collaborative oversight by local authorities.",
        "content": "<p>Jambi City (ANTARA) - Deputy Interior Minister (Wamendagri) Bima Arya\nSugiarto has assessed that the Kampung Bahagia programme in Jambi City\nhas the potential to serve as a model for a national programme.\n\u201cHopefully, if successful, it can be replicated, not only in Jambi but\nin other neighbourhood units (RT) across Indonesia,\u201d Bima said during a\nworking visit to RT 14, Kenali Asam Ward, Kota Baru Subdistrict, Jambi\nCity, on Wednesday. He encouraged the Kampung Bahagia programme to go\nbeyond mere physical improvements, serving as a strong instrument for\ncommunity empowerment and budget transparency. Efforts are underway to\nensure a uniform standard for financial management that is\nnon-consumptive and focused on long-term dimensions. Additionally, it\nconveys the message of direct citizen involvement in environmental\nmanagement and underscores the strong value of mutual cooperation. The\nformer Mayor of Bogor also reminded that the management of funds at the\nworking group (Pokja) and RT levels must have clear standards. The\nprogramme should be continuously supported and monitored during its\nimplementation, involving all relevant agencies in overseeing the\nKampung Bahagia initiative. He stated that with a mature mentoring\nsystem and inter-agency collaboration, Kampung Bahagia is believed not\nonly to beautify the city\u2019s face but also to sustainably improve the\nquality of life and economic independence of Jambi\u2019s residents. He\nassured that if the programme runs well and delivers impact, recognition\nfrom the central government and the public will follow during Mayor of\nJambi Maulana\u2019s leadership. \u201cWe challenge our Mayor first for this year;\nlet\u2019s see the figures before and after. If there are results, I\u2019m sure\nthe rewards will be waiting,\u201d he said. Chairman of the Jambi City RT\nForum, Suparyono, added that the existence of Kampung Bahagia is very\nmeaningful for the community in providing a sense of security and\ncomfort in the neighbourhood unit environment. The Kampung Bahagia\nprogramme is seen as capable of fostering a collective sense of\nownership among the people, due to efforts to build comfortable housing\nthrough their own endeavours. The Jambi City Government injects direct\nfunds of Rp100 million per RT, managed by the government for needs such\nas road repairs, drainage, and lighting. \u201cWe have installed surveillance\ncameras at every strategic corner to provide a sense of security,\nincluding routine night watch activities (Siskamling) to foster\ntogetherness,\u201d Suparyono explained.<\/p>",
