Febriansyah stressed the importance of moving beyond mere political statements to tangible actions, including public education, policy oversight, and constructive collaboration between the public and the government. Yoserizal Nasution, representing the initiators, outlined the organization's strategic direction and introduced 14 key program areas. A primary focus is the establishment of a Food Security coordinator, aligning with the President's strategic program to achieve national food sovereignty.
Other strategic areas include strengthening the people's economy, village cooperatives, national industrial downstreaming, MSME empowerment, education, health, environmental protection, human resource development, and enhancing public communication to counter disinformation and fake news. Nasution emphasized that these programs are designed as a form of public participation to bolster the success of the national development agenda. The event also featured Nehemia Lawalata, former Political Secretary to the late Prof. Soemitro Djojohadikusumo.
One of the main priorities is the formation of a Food Security coordinating body, as a form of support for President Prabowo's strategic program in realizing national food sovereignty.
