        "content": "<p>Deputy for Government Digital Transformation at the Ministry of\nAdministrative and Bureaucratic Reform, Cahyono Tri Birowo, announced\nthat Mataram City has been officially appointed as one of 42\ndistricts\/cities in Indonesia to serve as a pilot project for\naccelerating the digital transformation of social assistance (bansos).\n\u201cThis programme will become a new foundation in the governance of social\nprotection based on data and technology,\u201d he said following a\ncoordination meeting and audience regarding the expansion of\ndigitalisation for social assistance in Region VI in Mataram, West Nusa\nTenggara Province, on Thursday. Cahyono stated that the appointment was\nbased on a relatively mature digital ecosystem, ranging from\ninfrastructure and electronic-based government services to the\ncontinuously developing level of public digital literacy. This readiness\nis what has made Mataram trusted as a national laboratory to test the\nimplementation of a more modern, integrated, and accountable social\nassistance distribution system. The digital transformation programme for\nsocial assistance integrates three main pillars: the social protection\napplication (Perlinsos), digital population identity (IKD), and the\nAgency-Level Financial Application System (SAKTI) owned by the Ministry\nof Finance of the Republic of Indonesia. The integration of these three\nsystems is expected to deliver a distribution process that is more\ntargeted, faster, and transparent, while minimising the potential for\ndata errors and duplication of beneficiaries. \u201cTherefore, Mataram City\nwas chosen because it demonstrated an adequate level of readiness to\nbecome a model region,\u201d said Cahyono. According to him, the successful\nimplementation in Mataram will serve as an important reference for\ndeveloping similar systems in other regions. The central government not\nonly wants to build a digital system but also to ensure that technology\ncan answer fundamental problems in social assistance distribution,\nnamely data accuracy, transparency, and ease of access for the public.\nAt the same location, Mataram Mayor H Mohan Roliskana assessed that the\ncity\u2019s appointment as a trial location for digital social assistance is\nalso recognition of the region\u2019s consistency in promoting digital\ntransformation across various public service sectors. \u201cWe welcome and\nare ready to fully support the implementation of this programme. Digital\ntransformation in social assistance distribution is an important step to\nensure that government aid truly reaches the entitled public quickly,\naccurately, and transparently,\u201d said the mayor. He stated that the\ndigitalisation of social assistance is not merely a change in the\nadministrative system, but part of an effort to build a more modern and\nresponsive government governance that meets public needs. \u201cThrough data\nintegration and the utilisation of digital technology, we hope the\nquality of public services will continue to improve. The public gains\nconvenience, while the government has stronger instruments to ensure\naccountability and the effectiveness of social assistance programmes,\u201d\nhe continued. The central government is targeting the initial\nimplementation of this programme to begin in the first week of July\n2026. Its development progress is planned to receive direct attention\nfrom the President of the Republic of Indonesia as part of the national\ndigitalisation acceleration agenda. For Mataram City, this appointment\nnot only brings new responsibilities but also momentum to strengthen its\nposition as a region adaptive to change and innovation. If the programme\nsucceeds, Mataram will not just be a trial location but a real example\nof how regional digital readiness can be the key to creating more\neffective, inclusive, and community-oriented public services. \u201cFrom\nMataram City, a new model for national social assistance distribution is\nbeing built\u2014a step towards a more modern, integrated, and trustworthy\nsocial protection governance,\u201d said Mohan.<\/p>",
