Tri Tito Urges Enhanced Publication to Boost National Craft Development
The Daily Chairman of the National Crafts Council (Dekranas), Tri Tito Karnavian, has emphasised the importance of effective public communication management to support the promotion of national crafts amidst the increasingly dynamic digital information ecosystem.
According to him, the optimal use of various communication platforms is a vital component in expanding the dissemination of information regarding programmes and activities that support the development of national crafts.
Consequently, Dekranas is partnering with the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) to continuously drive improvements in publication quality through the establishment of content standardisation and the strengthening of communication capacity within the organisation.
“Therefore, let us work together to utilise the opportunities provided by the Ministry of Komdigi to provide the widest possible information regarding craft-related activities from our respective ministries and agencies,” Tri Tito stated in a briefing on Thursday (11/06/2026).
He made these remarks during the Dekranas Social Media Content Creation Standardisation Training held at Rumah Kriya Asri, Cilandak Timur, South Jakarta, on Thursday (11/06).
He noted that such efforts are a crucial step towards building uniform standards in managing publication materials. With a shared standard, all departments within Dekranas are expected to have a unified understanding when preparing communication materials, ensuring that information management is more effective and produces higher-quality content.
Tri Tito also expressed hope that the optimisation of public communication would be carried out through various digital platforms owned by Dekranas. This is considered essential so that various programmes and activities can reach a wider audience while simultaneously strengthening the existence and promotion of national crafts.
“We also hope that our social media management, in addition to our website, can be further enhanced,” he said.
Furthermore, Tri Tito emphasised the importance of collaboration with ministries and agencies in supporting the development of the national craft sector. This synergy is expected to expand the scope of coaching, allowing more artisans to gain opportunities for growth and mentorship.
“(Dekranasda can) provide input or opportunities for artisans who might not be monitored or accommodated by ministries and agencies for their development,” he concluded.
