REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA \u2013 After one year leading Central Sulawesi,\nGovernor Anwar Hafid and Deputy Governor Reny Lamadjido have begun\naccelerating various advancements through the BERANI program, which\ntargets the education, health, and infrastructure sectors. Several\nmeasurable achievements have been recorded, starting from the\ndistribution of tens of thousands of scholarships to accelerating the\ndevelopment of inter-regional connectivity.<\/p>\n
In the education sector, the BERANI Cerdas program has distributed\nscholarships to 23,568 students at various levels. This policy is\nconsidered a strategic step in encouraging equal access to higher\neducation.<\/p>\n
Insan Praditya Anugrah, an academic from the Faculty of Government\nScience at the Open University, assessed that this policy is important\nfor equalizing education. He said the step opens up wider opportunities\nfor students from eastern Indonesia to gain access to quality\neducation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is very important for equalizing education so that education,\nwhich has so far only been concentrated in western Indonesia, can be\nenjoyed more by our brothers and sisters in eastern Indonesia,\u201d said\nInsan.<\/p>\n
This program also opens up opportunities for students to pursue\neducation at various universities in Indonesia. He believes that this\ninter-regional opportunity contributes to the expansion of knowledge and\nthe exchange of insights.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard that this program allows undergraduate, master\u2019s, and\ndoctoral students from Central Sulawesi to study at various universities\nthroughout Indonesia, and this is important as an effort to transfer\nknowledge and insights in order to create equality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, the follow-up impact of equalizing education has\nthe potential to strengthen the economic foundation of eastern\nIndonesia. The chain effect of improving the quality of human resources\nis considered to encourage more equitable growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith this trickle-down effect, economic equality in the eastern\nIndonesian region will gradually improve,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
In the health sector, the BERANI Sehat program is considered to be\nmost felt by the community because it provides easier and more inclusive\naccess to services. Throughout 2025, this program has served 135,084\npeople in Central Sulawesi.<\/p>\n
Insan said that the steps taken by the provincial government are a\nreal implementation of pro-people policies in the field of health. He\nassessed that guaranteeing access to health services is an important\nfoundation for the welfare of the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the Central Sulawesi Provincial Government is doing is a real\nimplementation of people\u2019s welfare policies, especially guarantees for\nhealth care facilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, through BERANI Lancar, the provincial government is\naccelerating the development of strategic infrastructure, including a\nmulti-year road project worth IDR 604 billion and the reopening of the\nPalu IV Bridge to strengthen connectivity and economic activity. These\nefforts are considered concrete steps in facilitating the mobility of\ngoods and services between regions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the result of important concrete steps for the smooth flow\nof inter-regional connectivity and also the improvement of economic\nactivity between regions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Overall, he assessed that the BERANI program has begun to show a real\nimpact on the people of Central Sulawesi. The hope is that the completed\ninfrastructure development will be able to encourage more inclusive\neconomic growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all hope that with the completion of this infrastructure,\neconomic growth in the province of Central Sulawesi will be even better\nand economic prosperity will be enjoyed by all people,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/one-year-of-anwar-reny-central-sulawesi-accelerates-progress-1772151413", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
