The Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Syaifullah Yusuf, known as\nGus Ipul, promoted the National Single Data for Social and Economic Data\n(DTSEN) in Cikarang, Bekasi Regency. Gus Ipul spoke about the formation\nof DTSEN by President Prabowo Subianto. The remarks were made at the\nevent \u2018Collaboration of Presidential Priority Programs in Building Human\nResources Towards Economic Independence\u2019 at the Swatantara Wibawa Mukti\nHall, Cikarang, Bekasi Regency, on Wednesday, 4 March 2026. Gus Ipul\nsaid that initially each ministry held its own data.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach ministry has its own data. The Ministry of Social Affairs has\nits own data. Bappenas has its own data. Then PLN will have its own, and\nBKKBN has its own. They have data of their own; as a result, the regions\nfound it confusing to compile their own data,\u201d Gus Ipul said in his\naddress.<\/p>\n
Gus Ipul noted that such data fragmentation led to sectoral ego.\nSocial assistance (bansos) distribution ended up pegged to each set of\ndata.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m confused making it myself, so the provinces have their own data,\nthe districts have their own data, everyone keeps their own data. What\nhappened then was sectoral ego. The Ministry of Social Affairs has its\nown data\u2014this is arrogance, this showy attitude. It was managed by\nitself, then the bansos were distributed by themselves, evaluated by\nthemselves, and ultimately applauded by themselves,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cOther people may clap or not; it\u2019s up to them. The important thing\nis that our affairs are in order. Others are doing the same thing. The\ndata I am responsible for distributing is this one. Then it is measured\nby themselves, clapped by themselves, he added.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Prabowo asked for the data of each body to be stopped. He\nissued Presidential Instruction (Inpres) No.\u00a04 of 2025 on the National\nSingle Data for Social and Economic Data (DTSEN), published on 5\nFebruary 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo why did the President issue one Inpres and hand it to BPS? BPS\nhas the instruments to manage data comprehensively. Is it perfect yet?\nNo.\u00a0So BPS is also refining its mechanisms, improving measurement\npatterns, and addressing the various components required to make\nmanagement more professional and accurate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThus our task in the Inpres is for local governments, the Ministry\nof Social Affairs, and the Ministry of Villages to assist in updating.\nThe data now, under the President\u2019s directive, will be opened as widely\nas possible,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/social-minister-describes-dtsen-presidential-instruction-as-ministries-and-regions-hoard-data-1772633744", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
