Previously, the Head of Satgas PRR, Muhammad Tito Karnavian,\nemphasised that all aid distribution mechanisms are carried out through\na bottom-up data-based approach from local governments, to ensure the\naid is truly received by entitled communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe speed in providing assistance, whether for damaged houses,\nindividuals, furniture, daily necessities money, and also economic\nstimulus, uses a bottom-up mechanism from data collection by\ndistrict\/city governments. Some are fast, some are slow,\u201d said Tito in\nJakarta, Wednesday (25\/3).<\/p>\n
Tito explained that the difference in the speed of aid distribution\nin each area is due to variations in the speed of data collection and\nsubmission from local governments. According to him, recipient data must\ngo through a multi-layered verification process, starting from local\ngovernments to the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda),\nas well as field validation by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) to\nensure no errors or duplicate data occur.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe found duplicate data in the field. Therefore, verification is\nvery important to ensure aid reaches the right targets,\u201d said Tito.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/how-the-prr-task-force-ensures-targeted-distribution-of-aid-in-sumatra-1776091854", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
