Head of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) Muhammad Yusuf Ateh said the settlement of stunting cases was not in accordance with the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM) target.

"In the human development sector, efforts to improve the quality of Indonesian human resources have not been evenly distributed. For example, this can be seen from the settlement of stunting cases that did not meet the RPJMN target in 378 regions," said Ateh during the 2023 Internal Insight Coordination Meeting (Wasin) at the BPKP Office, East Jakarta, Wednesday, June 14.

In addition to stunting cases, Ateh also revealed that the quality of schools must also be improved. He said, the schools were scattered in more than 200 regions.

"As well as the quality of school classrooms that still need to be improved in 241 provincial, district/city areas," he explained.

Not only that, Ateh also revealed that from the aspect of effectiveness and harmonization of development in the regions, regional planning and budgeting are still not optimal.

"Based on the results of surveillance, we found that as many as 43 percent of the program has the potential to not optimally leverage development targets in areas tested for pick," he said.

"In addition, we also found the potential for waste of regional expenditure allocations of 21 percent of the value of the budget being tested for pick," concluded Ateh.
