The Yogyakarta City Government has highlighted the critical role of competent human resources in the development of the Red and White Village Cooperative (KKMP). The local Industry, Cooperatives, and SMEs Office is actively working to enhance the skills and qualifications of the cooperative's management.

"KKMP must be supported by competent management, which is why we provide training and encourage certification for cooperative managers and supervisors," stated Tri Karyadi Riyanto Raharjo, Head of the Yogyakarta Industry, Cooperatives, and SMEs Office. He explained that these efforts to improve human resource quality are ongoing, complemented by regular monitoring and evaluation of the village-level economic institutions.

Collaboration is identified as a primary key to KKMP's development. Given the cooperative's early stage and limitations in capital, HR, products, and infrastructure, building partnerships is essential for sustainable growth. "It's not just one department operating this. KKMP is being developed collaboratively through synergy between regional government organizations (OPDs) and various partners," Raharjo added.

This initiative aims to accelerate the learning and business adaptation process for KKMP management. Currently, 30 out of 45 KKMPs in Yogyakarta, approximately 70 percent, have begun operations and are conducting transactions.

Raharjo reiterated the Mayor's directive: "The target from the Mayor after the launch is that there must be activity. Don't just stand there, so there must be business activity."
