LIVE: Taklimat Presiden RI pada Rakornas Pemerintah Pusat dan Daerah Tahun 2026, Sentul, 2 Feb 2026

Summary

The 2026 National Coordination Meeting of Indonesia’s central and regional governments opened in Sentul under the theme of strengthening cooperation between Jakarta and local governments to advance the President’s priority programs and achieve “Golden Indonesia 2045.”

Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian said the meeting was intended to align implementation of the 2025–2029 development plan. A total of 4,011 participants—including regional leaders and, for the first time at this meeting, deputy regional heads—were attending. The agenda included sessions on economic policy and investment, food and nutrition programs, and law enforcement.

A Ministry of Home Affairs video presented government achievements and priorities, including food self-sufficiency, village cooperatives, fishing villages, free nutritious meals, schools and health checks, downstream processing, and forest protection. It cited 83,237 village and urban-ward cooperatives with legal status and said the meal program reached 55.1 million children during 2025.

In his address, President Prabowo Subianto urged officials to serve the public across political and regional divides. He emphasized Indonesia’s diversity and called for unity, while warning leaders to understand the country’s history of colonialism and foreign interference. He argued that international conflicts and tensions could affect Indonesia and reaffirmed its “free and active” foreign policy. He said the country should avoid entanglement in military blocs but be prepared to defend itself and rely on its own strength.

Prabowo identified poverty reduction and better management of Indonesia’s natural resources as central government responsibilities. He said Indonesia’s wealth had not yet been managed well enough for the benefit of its people, and called on officials and national leaders to improve their conduct and work together. He also stressed food and energy self-sufficiency as foundations for national independence, citing palm oil as a potential source of fuel and other products.

The President defended the free nutritious meal program, reporting that it had reached about 60 million beneficiaries and generated jobs through kitchens and their suppliers. He also cited free health checks, village cooperatives, school technology, boarding schools for disadvantaged children, and planned modernization of fishing villages. He announced plans for 18 downstream-processing projects, which he said would involve Rp618 trillion in investment and create 276,000 jobs.

Prabowo called waste a serious public-health and environmental problem and urged national and local officials to take practical action. He said the government would begin 34 waste-to-energy projects and proposed a nationwide “Beautiful Indonesia” effort involving regular cleanups by government agencies and schools. He also urged local leaders to improve public spaces, reduce excessive advertising and banners, and promote cleaner, more attractive towns and villages. He proposed supporting roof-tile production through village cooperatives as an alternative to widespread metal-sheet roofing.

The President officially opened the meeting and concluded the first part of his briefing by reaffirming the goals of food and energy self-sufficiency, poverty reduction, and eliminating hunger.
