This is because the team involves multiple organizations, regional apparatuses at the level of provinces and districts or cities, the private sector, and academicians, director general of regional development guidance at the ministry, Teguh Setyabudi, explained.
The acceleration of extreme poverty eradication involves multiple dimensions, which necessitates handling across different sectors, he said during the "Realizing Extreme Poverty Eradication Acceleration 2024" webinar on Wednesday.
"Provinces that have formed the TKPK should optimize their core duty, function, and role for expediting extreme poverty eradication," he added.
To support the acceleration of extreme poverty eradication, TKPK must converge programs and activities of different Regional Governmental Apparatus Organizations (OPDs).
"This convergence aims to ensure that the programs synergize with one another and do not overlap," he said.
The team has also been urged to ensure synergy in funding from the state budget, regional budget, and village funds in collaborative efforts to expedite extreme poverty eradication.
"If there are people who have not yet received aid from the government, village funds and CSR (corporate social responsibility) can help cover it," he said.
TKPK must use the same database or synergize the data from other OPDs to support the program and target people who need help.
The private sector, as part of the TKPK, can utilize government data for channeling aid to people who need it in order to support the continuity and consistency of the extreme poverty eradication acceleration policy.
To this end, data collection on Indonesian citizens' identity card numbers (NIK) has become important for formulating a database for aid provision.
