The Quick Impact Programs (PHTC) serve as evidence of the government’s commitment to its citizens, as stated by Chacha Annisa, a Senior Expert Staff at the Presidential Communication Office (PCO). In a discussion titled “The Role of Family Development in Welcoming Indonesia Emas 2045,” she emphasized the importance of family participation in various government programs launched since January, such as Free Nutritious Meals (MBG), Free Health Checks (CKG), School-Based Free Health Checks, Sekolah Rakyat (People’s School), School Renovation and Revitalization, Digital Learning, and the Merah Putih Village/Neighborhood Cooperatives.
Chacha highlighted the need for active involvement from families to ensure the smooth implementation of these programs. She shared her experience of overseeing the School-Based Free Health Checks in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, where parents were informed and educated before health workers conducted the check-ups, resulting in better participation from the children.
Furthermore, Chacha discussed the positive impact of the CKG program, which has encouraged healthy competition among students and prompted lifestyle changes, such as eating breakfast and reducing screen time. She also outlined the achievements of the PHTC initiative, including the establishment of Nutrition Service Units, the number of beneficiaries and jobs created under the Free Nutritious Meals program, the reach and examinations conducted through the Free Health Checks program, and the progress of initiatives like Sekolah Rakyat and Merah Putih Village/Neighborhood Cooperatives.
Chacha underscored that these achievements are not just statistical figures but symbols of the government’s dedication and active involvement in improving the lives of its citizens.
