The Jakarta Government is calling all of us to collaborate in putting an end to the Covid-19 outbreak. One of the concrete steps taken is to open the door of collaboration through Kolaborasi Sosial Berskala Besar (KSBB). The KSBB program which was launched in May 2020, consists of several sub-programs, including KSBB Pangan, KSBB UMKM, KSBB Pendidikan, and most recently the KSBB Permukiman.

[3 Aid Programs by the Jakarta Provincial Government During the Covid-19 Pandemic]

The implementation of the KSBB Permukiman program is based on the objective of fulfilling citizens rights to a proper place to live. During this Covid-19 outbreak, dense settlement with poor infrastructure may spread the virus even more and this is the last thing we want. In order to achieve this mission, Jakarta has also carried out an integrated and sustainable settlement area management through the Settlement Quality Improvement Program. Needless to say, for this mission to be successful, Jakarta relies heavily on our participation.

Efforts Carried Out by the Jakarta Provincial Government through KSBB Permukiman

The Jakarta Government is targeting 200 neighborhood and 21 priority villages to receive the donation through KSBB Permukiman from 2017 until 2022. Until now, there are 68 neighborhoods that are still waiting to be taken care of through the program. Some of the neighborhoods are including RW 006 Bungur Village, RW 001 West Cilandak Village, Cilincing RW 008 Village, Cipinang Besar Selatan Village RW 002, Cipulir RW 002 Village.
