JAKARTA – The Village Governance Strengthening and Developing Program (P3PD) is a government program to support the implementation of Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, which is structurally supervised by several ministries and institutions.
The five ministries and institutions that oversee the implementation of P3PD are the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration, the Ministry of Finance, The Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency, and the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural Affairs.
“With this project, there is a unified operational movement both in increasing government capacity, development, and carrying out community development and empowerment,” said Director General (Dirjen) of Village Government Development (Bina Pemdes) of the Ministry of Home Affairs Eko Prasetyanto Purnomo Putro to The Editor.
Eko also said that it is hoped that P3PD can be a solution to various problems that occur in the village.
“The Ministry of Villages is focused on encouraging community participation in villages,” he said.
The main focus of this program is the provision and development of support for governance, development, empowerment of village communities that is accountable, participatory, and in accordance with local needs.
One to note, P3PD should have been implemented since 2020 and will end in 2024, with a total location coverage of 380 districts/cities.
However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this program could only be optimized this year.
Apart from that, Eko also hopes that the central government and regional governments can synergize and support the program so its purposes are achieved more optimally. This support takes the form of financing to the sub-district. (ADVERTORIAL)
