Inp.polri.go.id - Sidoarjo. Minister of Social Affairs  Saifullah Yusuf said on Thursday (9/1/2025) that Indonesia will adopt a single socioeconomic data system as the new standard for social aid and empowerment programs. 

The unified data will be used by all ministries, agencies, and local administrations to ensure more accurate targeting.

“For the first time, Indonesia will have a single, unified data system under President Prabowo Subianto’s leadership,” Minister Saifullahl said.

Previously, ministries and agencies maintained separate databases. 

With this change, the National Single Socioeconomic Data will replace the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS). All institutions are required to use this single database.

The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) will oversee data accuracy, while updates will be made through village discussions or the social aid app, which allows users to report discrepancies with supporting evidence.
