Quality of Human Resources as the Spearhead of Success in Optimising the President's PHTC Programme

Minister for State Apparatus Utilisation and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) Rini Widyantini has emphasised the importance of ensuring the quality of human resources (HR) that will drive President Prabowo Subianto’s Quick Best Results Programme (PHTC). According to her, fulfilling HR needs must not be viewed merely as an administrative process but as a strategic effort to ensure the availability of competent and integrity-driven personnel. “Our emphasis is not only on meeting numbers but ensuring the right scheme so that the prepared HR can effectively drive the operations of national priority programmes in the field,” Rini stated in a press release received by Kompas.com on Thursday (9/4/2026). This statement was delivered by Rini while leading the Ministerial-Level Meeting on Follow-Up Support for HR Preparation to Support PHTC at the Ministry of PANRB office in Jakarta on Thursday. The recruited HR consists of the best talents with strong mental resilience and ideology, as well as receiving relevant training and preparation for managing national priority programme operations. Currently, the focus on optimising HR to support the President’s PHTC is divided into several main clusters, namely the Red and White Village/Urban Village Cooperatives (KDKMP), Red and White Fishermen’s Villages (KNMP), education, and health. Ministries or institutions responsible for each cluster need to follow up on HR projections. In addition, she also emphasised the importance of integrated collaboration oriented towards shared outcomes. President Prabowo has always stressed that various PHTC must provide broad, real, and sustainable impacts for society. Therefore, collaborative work between ministries, institutions, and regional governments (local governments) is needed to support various national priority programmes. “Through a transparent HR procurement process and solid cross-sector collaboration, it is hoped that all national priority programmes can run effectively and provide real impacts for society,” she asserted.
