Gowa Agent Helps Hundreds Register for Digital Social Aid in Two Weeks
Rosdiana, a social protection agent in Gowa, helped hundreds of people register for aid digitally in two weeks.
Gowa is a district in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, where officials met with local data operators and social affairs staff.
Indonesia is updating its social assistance data through a national system, with the statistics agency managing the central dataset and other agencies helping to update it.
Village data operators enter information into the system, using details gathered through formal local processes and public participation.
The Social Affairs Minister said accurate data is essential because errors can affect who is considered for support.
Signing up does not guarantee social assistance; applicants must pass system checks and meet eligibility rules.
People can also submit updates through the Cek Bansos app, call and WhatsApp centers, and other digital channels.
Rosdiana, a social protection agent from Gowa regency, helped hundreds of people register on a digital social protection system in two weeks.
Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf praised her work at an event in Makassar, South Sulawesi.
The digital system lets people register or renew their registration for social assistance, but registration does not guarantee they will receive benefits.
Eligibility is decided after system verification and under applicable criteria.
Yusuf said accurate data is essential to make social protection programs effective.

What people are saying
Easy and good, I had never found a method like this before.
The upstream work is here; the RT/RW only collect the data, but the village data operators are the ones who enter it into the system.
Our work must be targeted, integrated and sustainable, starting with accurate data.
