3 Million Homes Programme to Boost Human Resource Quality

Hasjim Djojohadikusumo, a member of the Honour Council of the Christian Intelligence Association of Indonesia (PIKI) and younger brother of President Prabowo Subianto, has emphasised that the 3 million homes development programme is a major national transformation strategy championed by the administration of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka. The construction of decent housing is considered a primary foundation for improving the quality of human resources to achieve the Indonesia Emas 2045 vision. He made the remarks while attending the Health Sovereignty Declaration organised by PIKI in Bandung on Wednesday (15/7). He explained that development cannot be fixated on just one sector. According to him, human health is highly dependent on the quality of the living environment. “This national transformation consists of several elements, namely health, housing, and the environment. Because human health depends on the environment as well. There is clean water and decent housing,” he said. Hasjim stressed that the provision of decent housing, combined with adequate access to health and education, is an absolute prerequisite for creating a superior generation in the future. These three elements form an inseparable unity in the government’s efforts to improve the living standards of the Indonesian people. “This is all to create and make our people superior by 2045. Our goal is a Golden Indonesia with superior people. That means good health, good housing, and good education,” he added. On the occasion, Hasjim also touched on the importance of nutritional improvement through the free nutritious meal programme as part of health interventions. He presented data on the high number of schoolchildren who skip breakfast and the prevalence of stunting in the country, which must be addressed immediately. He confirmed that the current administration has a strong commitment to making improvements across various sectors. “We will fix things that are not good, especially health,” he said.
