BANDUNG – The Inspector General (Irjen) of the Ministry of Home Affairs Tomsi Tohir Balaw expressed his hopes regarding the implementation of the Village Government Strengthening and Development Program (P3PD) training.
At the opening ceremony of P3PD training in Bandung, West Java a while ago, Tomsi said that this program could fulfill one of the “Nawacita” ideals of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Joko Widodo.
It refers to building Indonesia from villages.
“In accordance with the president’s mandate, namely developing Indonesia from the periphery as the basis for our meeting,” said Tomsi.
The event, which was opened by the Director General (Dirjen) of Village Government Development (Bina Pemdes) of the Ministry of Home Affairs Eko Prasetyanto Purnomo Putro at the El Royale Hotel, also reminded participants who took part in the P3PD training not to waste the budget that had been spent by the state in collaboration with the World Bank in its implementation.
Tomsi said he hopes that all 13,498 participants in this training can make new breakthroughs in serving the community.
Apart from that, he also requested that each village head also be able to revive BUMDes, make the village a new economic center, strengthen the village government, and understand the procedures for the government system from the center to the village.
One to note, the participants in this P3PD training are village heads, village secretaries, heads of village affairs and section heads, heads of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), heads of village community institutions, members of the PKK (family welfare development), posyandu, youth organizations, and RT/RW administrators.
