"The Government's Working Plan in 2020, as the first year of the National Medium Term Development Planning (RPJMN) 2020-2024, has the theme, 'human resource development for qualified growth'," Minister of National Development Planning and Head of Bappenas Bambang Brodjonegoro said here on Thursday.
Bambang said the government has set five priorities in its 2020 working plan, namely human development and poverty eradication; infrastructure and equality of regional development; value addition in real estate, industrialization, and job opportunities; sufficiency of food, water, energy and environment; and stability of defence and security.
"To reach the development target, we need to utilize infrastructure as an economic growth booster. The key, as instructed by President Joko Widodo on many occasions, is human resources, who are qualified and competitive, well-educated, skilled, have character, are healthy and productive," he said.
Bambang remarked that innovation and technology have become part of all priority programs.
