BANYUWANGI – Bakal calon Wakil Gubernur (Deputy Governor) East Java, Abdullah Azwar Anas will use a number of innovations he did in Banyuwangi as a campaign capital for the upcoming Gubernatorial Election. Salah satu yang bakal disampaikan Anas adalah program ‘smart village’ atau dengan Istilah yang telah populer di Banyuwangi yakni smart kampung.
“Smart kampung bisa menjadi alternatif konsep yang relevan menjawab kebutuhan publik,” tutur Anas seusai mengunjungi salah satu Smart Kampung di Desa Pengantigan, Rogojampi Kecamatan District, Banyuwangi, Sunday (3/12/2017) night.
“Desa dan kepala desa jangan hanya dijadikan sorotan terkait besarnya dana desa dari pusat dan alokasi dana desa dari pemerintah daerah, but also must be empowered and trusted. Smart Kampung provides an instrument for village governments to innovate to serve residents,” he added.
Anas explains, Smart Kampung is a village development program that combines the use of information technology (TI), productive economic activity, health-education improvement, and poverty alleviation.
Smart Kampung itself was launched by the Minister of Communication and Information (Minister of Communication and Information) Rudiantara on 31 May 2016.
“Jadi ada tujuh kriteria Smart Kampung, namely public service, economic empowerment, health services, development of education and arts and culture, human resource capacity building, poverty alleviation integration, and legal information literacy. All of these criteria are supported by information technology. Currently already 120 the village in Banyuwangi has fiber optic,” ucap Anas.
Smart Village, continued Anas, juga menjadi ‘jalan tol’ bagi warga kurang mampu saat akan mengurus Surat Pernyataan Miskin (SPM). Management of this letter is now sufficient at the village level.
"Before, management of this letter to the district level. With Smart Village, enough to do at the village level. So the data is running, not the person. The process that used to be complicated and took days is now simpler and shorter, only a few hours. There are also many other letters which are sufficient in the village and maximum in the sub-district only,said Anas.
Anas is optimistic that a similar model can continue to be developed in East Java. With this program, villages can innovate and provide excellent service to the community.
“Desa ini kan garda terdepan pembangunan daerah, so it must continue to be supported. In addition to village funds, which have been extraordinary distributed by President Jokowi, local governments need to make it a success by providing space for village governments to innovate,” pungkas Anas.
Anas has established himself in advancing to the East Java gubernatorial election. He is with the future cagub Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) supported by PDIP and PKB.
