        "summary": "Indonesia's Minister of Public Works, Dody Hanggodo, has emphasised that the Community-Based Infrastructure (IBM) programme directly benefits the most vulnerable communities at the grassroots level. The ministry is consolidating efforts to maintain a budget allocation of Rp5.48 trillion for IBM in 2026, targeting 15,364 locations, despite global economic pressures necessitating adjustments in non-IBM spending. Discussions with the Ministry of Finance are ongoing until 15 April 2026 to ensure the programme remains protected, as part of broader fiscal measures to control the state budget deficit.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Minister of Public Works Dody Hanggodo has stated\nthat Community-Based Infrastructure, or IBM, directly reaches the most\ndisadvantaged communities. \u201cWe all agree that Community-Based\nInfrastructure directly touches the communities at the very bottom,\u201d\nDody said in Jakarta on Tuesday. The Ministry of Public Works continues\nto consolidate efforts to ensure that budget optimisation does not\naffect Community-Based Infrastructure, thereby maintaining an allocation\nof Rp5.48 trillion for it, with the consequence of adjustments to\nbudgets for non-community-based infrastructure activities. Dody\nexplained that with a total budget allocation of Rp5.48 trillion, the\ntarget for community-based infrastructure programme locations in 2026 is\n15,364 sites. \u201cFor Community-Based Infrastructure, God willing, we will\nalso discuss with the Ministry of Finance whether, for example, it can\nbe spared from cuts, perhaps taking from other areas instead,\u201d Dody\nsaid. He noted that discussions on this matter are still in the\ndeliberation stage with relevant parties until 15 April 2026. The\nMinistry of Public Works is sharpening its spending as a follow-up to\nthe President\u2019s directives to mitigate global conditions and keep the\nstate budget deficit under control.<\/p>",
