“Local governments are urged to immediately realize the absorption of the deconcentration budget as we have not reached the determined target,” urged Deputy for Consumption Diversification and Food Security of Bapanas, Andriko Noto Susanto in a recording, on Wednesday (8/21/2024).

Quoted from RRI, Andriko says that the realization of the deconcentration budget currently is only at 49.62 percent or 155 million IDR while the target for July is supposed to be 60 percent and 70 percent for August.
