JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) has designated 10 sub-districts as priority locations in poverty alleviation in its area so that poverty alleviation efforts in the capital can be more targeted.
"It doesn't mean that other regions, no. It knows that the Jakarta region is scattered, let's try it in these 10, focus on it. So that the efforts made are more targeted and have a significant impact," said Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Rano Karno in the Regional Working Meeting of the Poverty Alleviation Coordination Team (TKPK) DKI Jakarta Province Quarter IV 2025 in Jakarta, Friday, December 19 reported by ANTARA.
The 10 sub-districts are Cengkareng, Kalideres, Tambora (West Jakarta); Jagakarsa (South Jakarta); Johar Baru (Central Jakarta); Jatinegara (East Jakarta); Penjaringan, Pademangan, Tanjung Priok (North Jakarta); and South Thousand Islands (Thousand Islands).
"The location is in five city areas and the Thousand Islands, including areas with high levels of social and economic vulnerability," said Rano.
He said that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government had carried out technical guidance for poverty alleviation based on collaboration in 10 priority locations for poverty alleviation.
"I specifically ask the Assistant for People's Welfare together with Bappeda and the KSD Bureau to prepare a collaboration scheme with strategic partners that are integrated with the DTSEN digital platform. Mayors and regents are expected to actively oversee the implementation of action plans in their respective regions," explained Rano.
Rano also asked his staff to complete the preparation of the National Socio-Economic Single Data (DTSEN) this year so that it can be used in 2026 so that the distribution of social assistance and social protection is more effective and accurate.

"Digital platforms that can be accessed by all of us, whether it is regional devices, ministries, institutions, and strategic partners, can be provided by the beginning of January 2026," he said.
