JAKARTA - Social Minister (Mensos) Saifullah Yusuf emphasized the importance of data accuracy and social agency professionalism to improve the quality of public services. This was conveyed by him in the 59th Anniversary of the Indonesian National Council for Social Welfare (DNIKS) in Jakarta, Saturday.
On this occasion, the Minister of Social Affairs, who is familiarly called Gus Ipul, conveyed five key strategic messages that need to be the attention of DNIKS in the future:
Strengthening the Quality of Social Welfare DataGus Ipul emphasized that all social interventions must be based on accurate data through the National Socio-Economic Single Data (DTSEN).
"DNIKS must also be concerned about presenting accurate data. Since 2025, we have a National Single Social Economic Data. The task of the Ministry of Social Affairs together with local governments and other ministries is to help update the data," said the Minister of Social Affairs.
Increase in Human Resources Capacity at Social Welfare InstitutionsKemensos highlighted that there are still many Social Welfare Institutions (LKS) that have not met institutional standards, infrastructure, and human resources capacity. Gus Ipul hopes that DNIKS can accompany LKS to operate professionally and according to national standards.
Encourage LKS Accreditation WidelyThe accreditation step is considered crucial to build public confidence and minimize the potential for deviations in the provision of social services in the field.
Expansion of Partnership NetworkThe Minister of Social Affairs encourages DNIKS to expand synergies with the business world, philanthropic institutions, and various stakeholders so that social welfare programs can run sustainably.
Adaptive Program InnovationDNIKS is asked to continue to produce innovative programs that are relevant to the development of the times so that the positive impact of social services is increasingly felt by the community.
DNIKS Commitment to Strengthen Synergy
Responding to the direction, the General Chair of DNIKS, Effendy Choirie, expressed his commitment to continue to be a strategic partner of the Ministry of Social Affairs. During 59 years of activity, DNIKS has supported various social organizations in Indonesia and is actively creating programs independently.
"DNIKS has a long history and role as a partner of the Ministry of Social Affairs. Therefore, we continue to innovate so that we do not always depend on the Ministry of Social Affairs," said Effendy.
Effendy added that the 59th anniversary momentum was an opportunity to strengthen the consolidation of the organization to the regional level through the Social Welfare Activity Coordination Agency (BK3S) and the Social Welfare Coordination Agency (LKKS).
