        "summary": "Indonesia's Minister of Home Affairs and Head of the National Border Management Agency, Muhammad Tito Karnavian, has announced a government programme to renovate 15,000 uninhabitable homes in border regions across 17 provinces and 40 districts\/cities. Initially allocated for 10,000 units, the programme was expanded following field assessments, aiming to enhance the welfare and nationalism of border communities while strengthening national defence as a 'buffer zone' against external threats. The initiative, supported by President Prabowo Subianto and the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas, will use verified data from the Central Statistics Agency to ensure targeted aid, with hopes it will inspire further development in markets, docks, and education facilities.",

The programme will target 15,000\nuninhabitable homes spread across 40 border districts\/cities in 17\nprovinces.<\/p>\n<p>Tito explained that the programme represents a concrete step by the\ngovernment to deliver justice to border communities, who have previously\nbeen inadequately served.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo improve the welfare of border communities so that they feel proud\nof the nation, proud of the government, and nationalism will grow\nstronger,\u201d Tito stated in his remarks on Friday (24\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to him, enhancing the quality of life for border residents\nwill directly impact national resilience. Prosperous border areas will\nserve as a strong \u2018buffer zone\u2019 in Indonesia\u2019s defence system against\npotential external infiltration.<\/p>\n<p>Tito also expressed appreciation to President Prabowo Subianto and\nthe Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas (PKP) for their support of\nthe programme.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the initial allocation for house renovations in border\nareas was around 10,000 units. However, this was later increased to\n15,000 units following direct field reviews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I am very grateful; this is perhaps the largest programme for the\nBNPP since its establishment in 2010,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In its implementation, proposals for aid recipients will be verified\nusing the National Single Social and Economic Data (DTSEN) from the\nCentral Statistics Agency (BPS). This ensures the aid is properly\ntargeted, as DTSEN provides detailed data by name and address.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he hopes this programme will encourage other ministries\nand agencies to introduce development initiatives in border areas, such\nas building markets, docks, and educational facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to illustrate how, with this programme in border areas,\nit truly reaches them; they feel the presence of the state,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>For information, also present on the occasion were PKP Minister\nMaruarar Sirait (Ara), BPS Head Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, and other\nrelated officials.<\/p>",
