YOGYAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto introduced a new program called "gentengisasi" in the National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas) of the Central and Regional Governments in Sentul, Bogor Regency on Monday, February 2, 2026. So, what is Gentengisasi?
Gentengisasi is a new program launched by Prabowo to improve the standard of residents' houses and address the issue of lack of change.
This program is part of the Indonesian ASRI Movement (Safe, Healthy, Resik, Beautiful). For more details, let's see the explanation of what gentrification is in the article below.
What is Gentengisasi?The term Gentengisasi Program is a national movement plan to replace zinc-based house roofs with tiles, especially clay tiles.
Prabowo said that the main purpose of this program was not just to replace the roof material, but to beautify the face of Indonesia, increase the comfort of housing, strengthen Indonesia's image in the eyes of tourists, and mobilize the people's economy from the village level.
The use of zinc as a house roof is considered less suitable for the tropical climate and affects the comfort of the occupants of the house, such as excessive heat, easy to rust. The appearance is less neat so that it does not reflect the progress of the nation.
For this reason, Prabowo wants every house in Indonesia to use atab tiles. This concept is then referred to as the gentrification program.
In its implementation, President Prabowo said that the program would involve the Red and White Village/Neighborhood Cooperative (KDMP) as the spearhead of production.
In the future, these cooperatives will be equipped with local scale tile factories with relatively affordable equipment. The raw materials for the tiles come from clay that is easy to obtain in the area, so that it can be mixed with other materials, including industrial waste such as coal ash to make it lighter, stronger, and environmentally friendly.
Where is the source of the Gentengisasi Program?Regarding this, the Minister of State Secretary Prasetyi Hadi said that the government had formulated a detailed funding scheme and implementation of the gentrification program with the relevant ministries and agencies.
The Minister of Law and Human Rights emphasized that this program does not entirely depend on the state budget or PBD, because the government also encourages public and private sector participation so that this program becomes a joint movement.
This program does not require a large budget, because its main target is houses that still use zinc roofs. In other words, only a portion of the total housing will be reached by the gentrification program, so the necessary costs are not large and can be controlled.
Regarding the source of the budget, Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said that the government had fiscal discretion that could be used. One option that is being evaluated is the reserve fund from the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program in addition to other possible sources of funding.
