  • West Java Secretary Herman Suryatman urged village governments to address education, health, unemployment and poverty issues using detailed data.
  • The SADA Jabar application integrates sectoral information and links it to national socioeconomic and regional development data.
  • Herman said village officials should use the system to identify children out of school, monitor pregnant women and support responses to stunting and tuberculosis.

West Java Secretary Herman Suryatman is urging village heads and officials to take a more active role in solving local social problems, saying improvements in the region’s Human Development Index cannot depend only on provincial and district governments.

He told village heads in Situraja, Sumedang, that local administrations should use data to address education, health, unemployment and poverty. The approach includes identifying children who are not attending school and targeting assistance according to their specific needs.

The village head and the subdistrict head must work on this, guided by the SADA Jabar application.

· Herman SuryatmanHe described how village and subdistrict officials should identify children out of school.

The provincial government plans to support village administrations through Satu Data Jawa Barat, or SADA Jabar. The application brings together data on education, employment, health, poverty and social demographics. It is also integrated with the National Single Socioeconomic Data system and West Java development data.

There must be no child who is not in school. Children aged 6 to 12 must not be out of school.

· Herman SuryatmanHe set out the education goal for local governments.

Using residents’ national identity numbers, the system maps information by name and address. Village governments can then use the data to decide where direct intervention is needed. Herman said children aged 6 to 12 should not be left out of school, adding that practical support might include shoes, uniforms and books.

He also cited stunting and tuberculosis as areas requiring active village involvement. Officials can monitor pregnant women and connect families with nutritional support. For households able to provide for themselves, the response may involve education about nutrition. Families in need could receive eggs, milk and vitamins. In tuberculosis cases, village heads should ensure that infected residents continue taking their medication until they recover.

For health issues, another example is tuberculosis. The village head must ensure that residents infected with tuberculosis take their medicine until they recover.

· Herman SuryatmanHe explained the role of village officials in tuberculosis treatment.
