Efficient use of IDT funds urged<\/p>\n
North Jakarta Mayor H. Suprawito called on his staff and
\ncommunity leaders to assist the recipients of the least developed
\nvillages (IDT) and gubernatorial-instruction (Ingub) program so
\nthey may use the funds efficiently.<\/p>\n
\"If guided properly the funds can be used by the recipients as
\na consistent capital base,\" Suprawito said over the weekend as
\nquoted by the mayoralty administration spokesman H.M. Napis.<\/p>\n
IDT is a national program aimed at alleviating poverty and
\nbackwardness which allocates Rp 20 million (US$9272.1) yearly
\nfor three years to each village classified as \"least developed\".<\/p>\n
The Ingub lends Rp 20 million from provincial administrations
\nto certain subdistricts categorized as least developed but not
\ncovered by the IDT program due to central government budgetary
\nconstraints. The Ingub funds must be returned within one year by
\nthe recipients to the provincial administrations free of
\ninterest.<\/p>\n
Suminen, a resident of Kalibaru, Cilincing, North Jakarta,
\nconveyed his joy at having such aid available. She said she was
\npreviously forced to borrow money from loan sharks who demanded a
\ninterest rate of 30 percent.<\/p>\n
This year the Ingub aid is allocated to the North Jakarta
\nsubdistricts of Tanjung Priok, Papanggo, Rawabadak, Lagoa and
\nKoja Selatan. (mds)<\/p>",
