JAKARTA – La Ode Ahmad P Bolombo, Acting Director General of Village Governance at the Ministry of Home Affairs, said that the Village Governance and Development Strengthening Programme (P3PD) will end in 2024.
He hoped that the programme would have a happy ending and that in the future a happy village would be created.
It was conveyed when La Ode was opening the Reconciliation of Financial Reporting and Evaluation of P3PD at the regional level via zoom in Jakarta, Friday (8/12).
The activity itself was held at the Bogor Valley Hotel, Bogor, West Java.
“I hope this programme has a happy ending and will create a happy village,” he said.
Furthermore, he explained that P3PD is a collaborative programme between the Indonesian government and the World Bank.
The implementation involves a number of ministries, namely the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration, Ministry of National Development Planning, Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural Affairs, and Ministry of Finance.
“This will be noted, because P3PD is a loan from the World Bank. So we must be fully accountable,” he said.
Therefore, he asked the relevant stakeholders involved in the programme to share information on financial management.
“Please use this opportunity as a place to share best practices in managing finances, compile follow-up plans for activities in provinces and districts. Pay close attention to technical issues, don’t let there be a dispute,” he said.
Meanwhile, Head of Planning of the Directorate General of Village Development Joserizal said that this activity was to review and evaluate the programme.
“To evaluate financial accountability and develop an action plan,” he explained.
