The presence of the state through various government programs, such as the Quick Impact Programs (PHTC), demonstrates its commitment to the well-being of its people. Chacha Annisa, Senior Expert Staff at the Presidential Communication Office (PCO), highlighted this during a discussion on the role of Family Development in achieving Indonesia Emas 2045. These programs, including Free Nutritious Meals (MBG), Free Health Checks (CKG), School Renovation, Digital Learning, and more, are all aimed at benefiting families. However, Chacha emphasized the importance of active family participation for the successful implementation of these programs.
She shared her experience of monitoring the School-Based Free Health Checks and the positive impact of informing and educating parents prior to the health workers’ visit. This approach ensured that students did not shy away from the health checks, creating a smoother process. Chacha also mentioned the healthy competition among students that was sparked by the CKG program, leading to better health habits and awareness among the youth.
The achievements under the PHTC initiative were also highlighted, with programs like Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) establishing numerous Nutrition Service Units and benefiting millions of individuals. The Free Health Checks program has reached millions of people, with a significant number already examined. The success of programs like Sekolah Rakyat and Merah Putih Village and Neighborhood Cooperatives further illustrates the government’s commitment to improving the lives of its citizens.
Chacha concluded by emphasizing that these numbers represent the government’s dedication and tangible impact on people’s lives. The active involvement of families is crucial for the continued success of these programs, reflecting the true essence of the state’s presence in serving its people.
