JAKARTA - Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo ensured that the Red and White Villages Cooperative (Kopdeskel) would be designed to be earthquake resistant and a green building.
"Some parts of Indonesia are in the ring of fire, so the buildings must be earthquake-resistant, green building and so on," said Dody after signing a memorandum of understanding with the Minister of Cooperatives (Menkop) Ferry Juliantono at the Kemenkop office, Jakarta, Friday, November 7.
However, Dody also realized that not all regions have building materials that meet these standards. Therefore, later it will be applied with local wisdom in each region.
Currently, the Ministry of Public Works will provide prototype designs for the construction of these outlets, which focus on the quality of the building.
Meanwhile, the physical construction will be carried out by PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara as the recipient of the work from the Ministry of Cooperatives (Kemenkop).
"We will prepare the prototype design, then cooperate with PT Agrinas because they will be working on the physical construction," said Dody.
"Of course, we will refer to the quality of the building, because we are talking about tens of thousands of cooperatives throughout Indonesia," he continued.
The Andil of the Ministry of Public Works is also stated in the Presidential Instruction (Inpres) of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2025 concerning the Acceleration of Physical Development of Outlets, Warehousing and Completeness of the Red and White Kopdeskel.

Therefore, the Ministry of Cooperatives asked the Ministry of Public Works for assistance as regulated in the regulation because it does not have technical supervision capacity.
Later, said Dody, his party will carry out regular supervision and coordination through the Cipta Karya Center and the Construction Development Center in the regions.
"We are always ready to support the direction of the President, as when we were asked to build a People's School and kitchen by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN). We will continue to work on the same thing with the Ministry of Cooperatives," he added.
