Located at the Natuna Hotel Hall, Ranai Darat, Bunguran Timur District, Tuesday (21/11) afternoon, the Vice Regent of Natuna, Rodhial Huda officially opened the SEPAKAT (Integrated Poverty Planning, Budgeting, Analysis and Evaluation System) Training and Utilisation of Socio-Economic Registration Data of Natuna Regency in 2023.
On this occasion, Rodhial said that the current aspects of poverty are mostly caused by the impact of development that is not on target or because the development sector is running slowly, such as in education, health, employment opportunities, lack of quality competence of the workforce, inadequate basic infrastructure and food security that is still not as expected.
Poverty is considered a major challenge and requires the cooperation and active involvement of all parties involved, both at the national, provincial, and district/city levels.
To alleviate poverty, a comprehensive social protection programme is needed, in order to respond to various risks and vulnerabilities, both physical, economic, and social, especially those experienced by those living in poverty.
On the same occasion, the Head of the Regional Planning, Research and Development Agency, Moestafa Albakri reported that the purpose of this activity is none other than so that local government policymakers and stakeholders can understand the use of the SEPAKAT application to support policy-making and programme preparation, especially social protection programmes, community empowerment, and service provision programmes based on minimum service standards (SPM).
This activity will be held at the Natuna Ranai Darat Hotel Hall from 21 to 23 November 2023, where participants are the Head of Planning Subdivision, Head of Division or Functional Officials who are directly and indirectly responsible for poverty reduction efforts, functional planners from Barenlitbangda.
Present on the occasion were representatives from several leaders of Regional Apparatus Organisations, resource persons/experts from the Sepakat team of the Directorate of Poverty Reduction and Community Empowerment of the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, and training participants.
