Central Jakarta Musrenbang produces seven priority development programmes for 2027

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Musyawarah Perencanaan Pembangunan (Musrenbang) in Central Jakarta has produced seven priority programmes from a total of 890 development proposals for 2027.

“We hope that all proposals from residents in the eight sub-districts across Central Jakarta that have been absorbed can be realised in 2027,” said the Acting Mayor of Central Jakarta Administration, Arifin, in Jakarta on Thursday.

He stated that the Musrenbang in the eight sub-districts of Central Jakarta in 2026 produced 1,222 development programme proposals for 2027.

“Of the 1,222 proposals, 890 were accommodated for 2027, while the remaining 332 proposals will be realised in 2026,” Arifin said.

Arifin explained that his side also designated seven of the 890 proposals as priority city development programmes to be realised in 2027.

The seven Central Jakarta development programmes include the arrangement of the Tanah Abang Market area, Baru Market, Kebon Kacang Street, and Sabang Street, as well as the relocation of Johar Baru Hospital.

“In addition, there are efforts to tackle poverty and reduce stunting, school rehabilitation, and the expansion of free schools,” he said.

He hopes that hundreds of development proposals that have been absorbed in stages through RW deliberations and Musrenbang at the village and sub-district levels across Central Jakarta up to the DKI Jakarta Provincial level in 2026 can be accommodated in the coming year.
