With initiatives like Sekolah Rakyat, Kopdes Merah Putih, and MBG, the government seeks to break the cycle of poverty and restore dignity to those in need. These programs are designed to provide essential support and education to uplift families out of poverty.
Eradicating poverty is a top priority for President Prabowo, with ambitious goals set to eliminate extreme poverty by 2026 and reduce the overall national poverty rate to below 5 percent by 2029. Through a combination of social intervention and community empowerment programs, the government aims to achieve these targets and make a tangible impact on the lives of the underprivileged.
During a recent discussion, Deputy Minister of Social Affairs Agus Jabo Priyono emphasized the importance of education in breaking the cycle of poverty. The government’s three-pronged strategy includes initiatives like the People’s School, Red-and-White Village Cooperatives, and Free Health Checks in Schools. These programs aim to provide vital support, create new opportunities, and empower local communities to become self-sufficient.
