All Quick Impact Programs (PHTC) are a testament to the government’s commitment to its people, according to Chacha Annisa, Senior Expert Staff at the Presidential Communication Office (PCO). She highlighted this during a discussion on “The Role of Family Development in Welcoming Indonesia Emas 2045.”
Chacha emphasized that the various government programs introduced since January, such as Free Nutritious Meals (MBG), Free Health Checks (CKG) along with School-Based Free Health Checks, Sekolah Rakyat (People’s School), School Renovation and Revitalization, Digital Learning, and the Merah Putih Village/Neighborhood Cooperatives, are all geared towards benefiting families. However, she pointed out that active participation from families is essential for the smooth implementation of these programs.
Drawing from her own experience monitoring the School-Based Free Health Checks with the Ministry of Health, Chacha mentioned the importance of educating and informing parents in advance to ensure the children’s cooperation during the health checks.
She also shared how the CKG program has motivated healthy competition among students, leading to positive changes in their lifestyle habits. The achievements of the PHTC initiative were also outlined, including the establishment of Nutrition Service Units, the number of beneficiaries reached, job creation, health checks conducted, schools and students served, and the formation of village and neighborhood cooperatives.
Chacha emphasized that these achievements are more than just statistics; they reflect the government’s commitment and active involvement in improving the lives of its citizens.
