NATIONAL INFO - The Ministry of Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK) and The National Team for Accelerated Poverty Reduction TNP2K unite to enhance women's empowerment in rural development through targeted training and data-driven initiatives.
The Ministry of Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK) and The National Team for Accelerated Poverty Reduction (TNP2K) have taken a significant step toward promoting women’s empowerment in rural development through a training program titled Strengthening Women’s Empowerment in Village Development. The event is part of the Village Governance and Development Strengthening Program (P3PD) aimed at enhancing human resource capacity in villages across Indonesia, held at Le Meridien Hotel in Jakarta, from November 13–15, 2024.
Assistant Deputy for Regional Empowerment and Spatial Mobility at Kemenko PMK, Monalisa Herawati Rumayar, emphasized the importance of this initiative in collecting vital data to inform policies and strategies for empowering women in rural areas. She stated, “All of this information is crucial to support women’s empowerment at the village level.”
The program’s data collection phase is set to take place from November 17–24, 2024, across eight districts: Bangka Tengah, Tanggamus, Indramayu, Bantul, Banyuwangi, Banjar, Maros, and Minahasa Utara. These locations were selected based on criteria such as their status as inclusion villages under P3PD, participation in empowerment programs, levels of gender equality, and performance in the Village Development Index.
The information gathered will focus on existing policies and programs supporting women’s empowerment, challenges in their implementation, effective strategies, and the roles of local governments and community organizations. Monalisa highlighted that this data would serve as a foundation for creating tailored recommendations to enhance village-level initiatives, ensuring they are relevant and impactful. “Hopefully, the results of this data collection can provide valuable input for Component 1 of P3PD at the Ministry of Home Affairs, Component 2 at the Ministry of Villages, and Component 3 involving Kemenko PMK and the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas),” she explained.
Monalisa expressed optimism about the potential of cross-ministerial collaboration to strengthen efforts in empowering women in villages, supporting inclusive and gender-just development. She underscored the necessity of equipping women with the tools and knowledge to actively contribute to their communities, thereby creating lasting positive impacts for rural populations.
“Cross-ministerial and institutional collaboration is expected to strengthen efforts in empowering women in villages across Indonesia, supporting inclusive and gender-equitable development,” Monalisa concluded. (*)
