Jakarta - The Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Saifullah Yusuf said that the Red and White Village / Village Cooperative (KDKMP) can be one of the places where beneficiaries spend social assistance.

The scheme has been tested in a number of locations with the support of state-owned banking services (Himbara). This was conveyed by the Minister of Social Affairs Saifullah Yusuf at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, July 15.

Gus Ipul added that the involvement of the Ministry of Social Affairs in the program was based on Presidential Instruction Number 9. Beneficiaries will be encouraged to become active members of cooperatives. In addition to being a place to spend social assistance, the Red and White Cooperative is directed to be part of the empowerment program.

The beneficiaries are expected to sell the products they produce through cooperatives. Kemensos will also encourage all beneficiaries to join as members.

With this scheme, cooperatives are not only a place for assistance transactions, but also a marketing channel for citizen products.
