        "content": "<p>Denpasar (ANTARA) - The Head of the Government\u2019s Digital\nTransformation Acceleration Committee, Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, is now\ntargeting the province of Bali in an effort to expand the implementation\nof government digital transformation, after its previous success in\nBanyuwangi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBali is one of many provinces, but we are focusing on Bali. Here,\nthere are eight regencies and one city. Previously, Banyuwangi, as you\nheard, will be an example model,\u201d said Luhut in Denpasar, Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>He asked the Governor of Bali to deploy regents\/mayors to immediately\nbegin the process through socialisation and data collection so that all\npeople of Bali can soon have a single digital identity.<\/p>\n<p>This single digital identity will then be used for the digitalisation\nof social assistance, so Luhut believes that in the future, the\ndistribution of social assistance will be more targeted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this will make Indonesia more transparent, more efficient,\nand our target is, I have reported to Mr.\u00a0President, that it will be\nlaunched nationally in October this year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>With this, people can independently verify their identities through a\nsingle application, as Indonesia developed PeduliLindungi during the\nCOVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The Government\u2019s Digital Transformation Acceleration Committee\nestimates that the objection period will be completed in Banyuwangi next\nweek, so that the process can begin in Bali.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it will also be carried out in parallel in other\nregencies\/cities so that at least by April 2026, they will be included\nin the 200 regencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that at the time of the launch in October 2026, we hope that\nthere will be around 200 million or 150 million Indonesian people who\nhave a single digital identity,\u201d said Luhut Binsar Panjaitan.<\/p>\n<p>The Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster, then responded by ensuring that\nthe regional governments throughout Bali will immediately hold a meeting\nand take action in collecting data.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, integrating the many government applications into\none platform is a good thing so that data can be managed better, so he\nencourages regents\/mayors to start immediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will follow up by holding a meeting with regents\/mayors, everyone\nis very happy, and that\u2019s why we want to start preparations by early\nMarch, at the latest by the end of March, and it needs structured\nassistance at the village level,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
