Ministry of Public Works Opens Recruitment for Community Facilitators in P3TGAI 2026 Programme: Requirements and Registration Method
JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works (PU) is opening recruitment for Community Facilitators (TPM) in the implementation of the Accelerated Improvement of Irrigation Water Management Programme (P3TGAI) for the 2026 Fiscal Year.
With the expansion of the programme in 2026, the need for Community Facilitators (TPM) becomes crucial to ensure effective implementation in the field.
The selection is open to all Indonesian citizens (WNI) who meet the requirements, with priority given to those with experience in community empowerment and irrigation management.
TPM will assist farmer groups such as the Water User Farmer Associations (P3A), Associations of P3A (GP3A), and Parent P3A (IP3A) from the planning stage, simple construction implementation, to activity administration management.
In addition, TPM will also play a role in maintaining work quality in the field, assisting in report preparation, and providing technical guidance to the community to make irrigation management more efficient and sustainable.
One of the Ministry of PU’s technical implementing units, the Pompengan Jeneberang River Basin Organisation (BBWS), has opened online registration for TPM from 2 April to 5 April 2026.
The selection process includes administrative stages, written tests, and interviews, with the final results announcement scheduled for 17 April 2026.
Registration is conducted online through the official P3TGAI website or via the link https://bit.ly/P3TGAI2026BBWSPOMJEN, completing the required administrative documents.
The Ministry of PU has begun implementing P3TGAI for the 2026 Fiscal Year, which will be carried out at around 12,000 locations across Indonesia.
This labour-intensive programme is one of the government’s strategic instruments in strengthening national food resilience while opening up employment opportunities for communities in various regions.
Minister of PU Dody Hanggodo stated that labour-intensive programmes like P3TGAI play an important role in promoting equitable development while improving community welfare.
“This programme is an important instrument to ensure that the benefits of development can be felt evenly across all levels of society. By involving local residents in development, labour-intensive programmes create jobs, reduce unemployment, and increase community purchasing power,” said Dody, quoted from an official statement, Saturday (04/04/2026).
In addition to providing economic impacts, this programme is also designed to strengthen the community’s role in infrastructure development through a self-management pattern.
“By involving the community directly, this programme not only produces beneficial infrastructure but also empowers the community to actively participate in development,” said Dody.
Through this scheme, development funds circulate directly at the village level while fostering a sense of ownership towards the built irrigation infrastructure.
Through this programme, the Ministry of PU not only builds reliable irrigation infrastructure but also creates job opportunities, enhances community capacity, and strengthens the role of farmers in supporting national food resilience.
