According To The Direction Of The Kemenkop UKM, Central Lombok Regency Government Data On The Number Of UMKM Use SIDT

CENTRAL LOMBOK - The Department of Cooperatives and MSMEs (Diskop) of Central Lombok Regency has begun to re-collect data on the number of cooperatives and MSMEs in its area. Data collection is carried out through an integrated data information system (SIDT) in accordance with the direction of the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs (Kemekop UKM).

"The SIDT data has entered as many as 7,000 MSMEs and cooperatives," said Central Lombok Cooperatives and MSMEs Agency Head Ikhsan at his office in Praya, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), quoted from Antara, Wednesday 15 June.

In this data collection, around 400 data collection officers have been distributed in all sub-districts to collect MSME data by name by address. The data collection activity was carried out for 6 months in accordance with the target from the central government.

"The number of MSMEs and cooperatives that will be re-recorded is around 125 thousand. However, only 7000 thousand have entered the system for verification according to the provisions of the ministry," he said.

He said the purpose of the online data collection was to realize the Single Data for Cooperatives and SMEs (SIDT-KUMKM) in accordance with the direction of President Jokowi. This data collection is carried out nationally, not only in Central Lombok.

"This data collection is facilitated by the central government through the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs," he said.

With the online MSME data, it is hoped that there will be no overlapping data, so that the implementation of programs or policies is as planned.

"This data is a reference for the government in implementing programs to improve the economy and people's welfare," he said.

This data collection is carried out directly by the officer, so that the data produced is in accordance with the conditions of the MSMEs. So, he hopes that MSME actors can provide clear and honest information, so that there are no data errors in the future.

"Manual data collection is not possible. You have to go through SIDT," he concluded.
