“I highly appreciate Bang Zek’s performance and dedication in being present and helping ensure that this assistance is distributed properly. We also appreciate the efforts of the Aceh Tamiang Regency Government, through its Social Affairs Office, in realizing this assistance funded through the Aceh Government’s Regional Financial Transfer (TKD) budget,” Syamsul stated.
Syamsul further emphasized that social assistance and community economic empowerment programs should not merely be viewed as budget distribution initiatives, but as part of the government’s responsibility to improve people’s living standards. Therefore, supervision, transparency, and accurate targeting must remain shared priorities to ensure that assistance reaches eligible recipients and is used productively.
Meanwhile, Muhammad Zakiruddin explained that the assistance was provided under a program of the Aceh Government through the Aceh Provincial Social Affairs Office. His presence as a DPRA Task Force representative was part of the effort to ensure that the assistance was properly distributed and delivered positive outcomes for the intended beneficiaries.
“We want to ensure that this assistance reaches the right people. Our hope is that it will truly benefit those who need it. Alhamdulillah, the assistance has been successfully realized,” Muhammad Zakiruddin said.
He also explained that the assistance covered several productive business sectors, including sewing services, culinary businesses, cake-making enterprises, small retail shops, and vehicle washing business. These forms of support are expected to serve as initial capital and encouragement for beneficiaries to develop their businesses, strengthen economic independence, and increase household incomes.
The meeting marked a positive step toward strengthening communication and cooperation between DPC BAI Aceh Tamiang and DPRA Task Force representative Muhammad Zakiruddin in supporting government programs that directly benefit the community. DPC BAI reaffirmed its commitment to carrying out its advocacy role and encouraging constructive public oversight to ensure that government assistance programs are implemented transparently, accountably, and reach the people who genuinely need them.
