        "summary": "The Indonesian government is launching a massive 'gentengisasi' programme to replace roofs with proper tiles on 400,000 low-income homes nationwide this year. The initiative, combined with the existing home renovation scheme, will use a 'people's tender' mechanism to enhance budget efficiency and prevent corruption. Priority recipients include homes in border areas and families affected by tuberculosis.",
        "content": "<p>Minister of Housing and Settlement Areas Maruarar Sirait announced\nthe government will begin a massive roof replacement programme, known as\n\u2018gentengisasi\u2019, this year. The programme, initiated by President Prabowo\nSubianto, will be executed alongside the home renovation scheme\ntargeting 400,000 units across Indonesia. \u201cThis gentengisasi programme\nwill be directly executed massively through the home renovation\nprogramme in 400,000 houses throughout Indonesia,\u201d Maruarar said after a\ncoordination meeting with Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian and\nHead of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti\nin Central Jakarta on Friday, 10 July 2026. Maruarar stated the home\nrenovation programme is intended for low-income communities, with the\ndetermination of beneficiaries referring to BPS data collected down to\nthe regional level. He explained the government has established several\npriority groups for assistance, including 15,000 houses in border areas,\n8,000 houses for residents affected by tuberculosis (TBC), and 10,000\nhouses for families of Sekolah Rakyat students. He explained the\ngentengisasi and home renovation programme will utilise a more open\nprocurement mechanism through a \u2018people\u2019s tender\u2019 scheme. Under this\nscheme, officers and beneficiaries will first compile a list of required\nbuilding materials. Subsequently, several building supply stores will be\ninvited to submit open price offers, allowing the public to directly\noversee the procurement process. Maruarar stated this mechanism can\nincrease budget efficiency while preventing corrupt practices. \u201cWe want\nto educate the people to prevent corruption on the ground. This will be\nimplemented in villages throughout Indonesia,\u201d he said. Maruarar added\nthat the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas has coordinated with\nthe Audit Board of Indonesia to ensure the programme\u2019s governance\ncomplies with regulations. Additionally, the government has relaxed\nseveral requirements to enable micro, small, and medium enterprises\n(UMKM) to participate as building material suppliers. One policy change\ninvolves the requirement for Indonesian National Standards (SNI)\ncertification, which is no longer mandatory for UMKM suppliers in this\nprogramme. \u201cPreviously we wanted to use SNI requirements, but we lowered\nthem because not all UMKM can meet them. They can use reliability\ncertification from the Ceramics Centre instead,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
