The Aceh Unggul Hebat (AMANAH) Youth Aneuk Program carried out by the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) continues to be committed to supporting the creativity of the young generation of Aceh, this time by building a sophisticated music studio in the AMANAH Building, Aceh Industrial Area (KIA), Ladong Village, Mesjid Raya District, Aceh Besar Regency. This facility not only provides modern music equipment, but also offers technical training in the field of music and audio production, which is attended by a number of young people and students from various regions in Aceh.
Now, the AMANAH Building project located in Aceh is ready to be inaugurated by President Joko Widodo. This project is part of the government’s efforts through the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) to accelerate infrastructure development in the region. The AMANAH Building is designed as a center of activity and creativity for the young generation of Aceh, so its existence is highly anticipated by the community.
The AMANAH building in Aceh not only functions as a cultural center, but also as a place for innovation and skills development for young people. The name AMANAH itself is an abbreviation of Anak Muda Aceh Hebat , which reflects its main purpose as a gathering and collaboration place for creative young people in Aceh. This building will be equipped with various modern facilities, including meeting rooms, creative studios, exhibition spaces, and co -working spaces designed to support the creative industry ecosystem in Aceh.
The presence of the AMANAH Building is also expected to encourage local economic growth, especially in the creative sector. Young people who are interested in art, technology, and innovation will get space and facilities to develop their ideas. This is part of a long-term strategy to reduce unemployment among young people while developing local potential.
The acceleration of the construction of the AMANAH Building was initiated by the PUPR Ministry after seeing the great potential of this project to support human resource development in Aceh. One of the reasons for the acceleration of this development is the commitment of the central and regional governments to provide public facilities that can improve the quality of life of the community, especially in terms of education and economy. The PUPR Ministry continues to coordinate with the contractor and project supervisor so that the work can be completed without significant obstacles. In addition, support from the Aceh regional government also accelerated this process, by placing the AMANAH Building project as one of the development priorities.
Director of Building Development of the PUPR Ministry, Cakra Nagara emphasized the importance of quality and neatness in the construction of the Aneuk Muda Aceh Unggul Hebat (Amanah) Building. He also stated that his party had optimally realized the construction of the Amanah building.
Meanwhile, this project involves PT Ardi Tekindo Perkasa as the winner of the tender for the physical construction of the building, and PT Ciriajasa Engineering Consultan KSO as the winner of the tender for construction management.
Commitment Making Officer (PPK) of Balai Perkim Aceh, Agung Prakoso explained the details of the progress of work in several buildings in the area, such as the Multifunction Building which is final. The Main Building is also ready to be utilized. On the other hand, the Men’s Dormitory and Women’s Dormitory have been finalized.
Aceh, with its rich history and culture, has long been known as one of the regions with great potential in the arts and culture sector. The young generation in Aceh has extraordinary talents in various fields, such as music, film, and digital technology. However, they are often faced with limited facilities and infrastructure support to develop their talents. The AMANAH Building is expected to fill this gap by providing a space that encourages creativity and innovation.
The importance of AMANAH Building as a creative center lies in its vision to be a platform for cross-disciplinary collaboration. In this building, Acehnese youth can not only access technology and creative spaces, but also learn from each other through community-based activities, such as workshops, seminars, and art exhibitions. This building will function as a learning center that encourages the exchange of ideas and innovation among Acehnese youth.
Not only that, this building is also projected to become a center for creative economic activities that can provide significant contributions to the regional economy. In the long term, the AMANAH Building is expected to become a creative business incubator that produces local startups and innovative products that can compete in the global market.
