Trenggalek, East Java (ANTARA) - Social Affairs Minister Syaifullah\nYusuf praised the commitment of the Trenggalek Regency Government, East\nJava, in managing social data during a working visit and socialisation\nof the National Single Social and Economic Data (DTSEN) on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He assessed Trenggalek as one of the regions seriously building an\nintegrated data collection system as a basis for distributing social\nassistance to ensure it reaches the right targets.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrenggalek Regency is among those that are very concerned about data\nrecords. They already have mechanisms and efforts; it\u2019s just a matter of\nsynchronising them with the central and provincial levels,\u201d said\nSyaifullah Yusuf.<\/p>\n
According to him, DTSEN serves as the national single database to\nsupport planning, programme evaluation, and strategic policy-making.\nThis system also refers to the central government\u2019s policy through\nPresidential Instruction Number 4 of 2025.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that data updates must be carried out periodically\nbecause the social conditions of the community are dynamic.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery day there are changes, from births, deaths, movements, to\nchanges in economic status. Therefore, tiered coordination is needed\nfrom the village to the central level,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The Social Affairs Minister added that around 45% of social\nassistance recipient data, such as the Family Hope Programme (PKH),\ncomes from verification and updates processes at the local level.<\/p>\n
He also highlighted the importance of reaching \u201cinvisible people\u201d or\nresidents who are not yet recorded so they can receive social protection\nand empowerment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want those who are not yet recorded to be embraced, so that\ngovernment interventions truly have an impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Trenggalek Regent Mochamad Nur Arifin expressed the\nregion\u2019s readiness to support the implementation of DTSEN by\nstrengthening data integration down to the village level.<\/p>\n
The regency government, he said, has prepared the GERTAK Post as a\ncoordination centre for data collection together with the Central\nStatistics Agency (BPS), village apparatus, and village operators so\nthat data can be updated in real time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe data is centralised, but collected from the regions. The\nchallenge is how to ensure village data can be directly integrated with\nthe central system,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He added that the local government is also optimising population\nadministration services to reach residents who are not yet recorded,\nincluding through the proactive KTP recording programme.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Trenggalek Regency Government is carrying out\ntemporary interventions through the National Zakat Agency (Baznas) for\nresidents in need, while waiting for DTSEN data updates.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/social-affairs-minister-praises-trenggaleks-commitment-to-social-data-1774803042", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
