Aceh Besar – The Aneuk Muda Aceh Unggul dan Hebat (AMANAH) program initiated by the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) has received extraordinary appreciation from the people of Aceh. President Joko Widodo, through his support for this initiative, has shown a real commitment to improving the quality of human resources (HR) and accelerating economic development in the Aceh region, which has often faced major challenges.
The success of the AMANAH program not only includes improving the skills of the younger generation, but also strengthening the local economy through the development of the digital economy sector, modern agriculture, and MSMEs. President Jokowi’s support for this program has provided wider access for the younger generation of Aceh to develop and compete in the era of globalization.
Academician from Malikussaleh University, Al Chaidar, emphasized the importance of the AMANAH program as a solution to the limited opportunities faced by Acehnese youth so far. According to him, this program provides a relevant understanding of the digital economy, which is very necessary in the modern era.
“The AMANAH program is a concrete step in creating a superior young generation of Aceh who is ready to compete at the national and international levels,” he said.
Previously, Acehnese youth often had difficulty in getting jobs or developing businesses. However, thanks to the guidance and training in this program, many of them are now successful, even able to export MSME products abroad. The full support of President Jokowi plays a major role in opening the door for Aceh’s young generation to become strong entrepreneurs.
The positive impact of this program is also seen in the modern agricultural sector. Aceh, which previously had not fully utilized this potential, now has access to more advanced agricultural technology and innovation. In this case, AMANAH provides new opportunities that can increase food security and open up employment opportunities for local communities.
The local government also supports the success of this program. Acting Regent of South Aceh, Cut Syazalisma, conveyed the local government’s full commitment to supporting the development of the agricultural sector and the creative economy through AMANAH. “This program is real evidence of the state’s presence in improving the welfare and potential of Aceh,” he said.
Appreciation for President Jokowi in realizing this program was also conveyed by various parties. With a strong vision in developing human resources and regional economy, President Jokowi has succeeded in showing leadership that focuses on the welfare of all levels of society. The AMANAH program is one of the initiatives that reflects the central government’s commitment to supporting regional development through collaboration with various sectors.
Overall, the AMANAH program is a breath of fresh air for Acehnese youth who want to innovate, contribute, and develop the local economy. With the support of President Jokowi and BIN, AMANAH is expected to continue to be a platform for empowering the young generation of Aceh, making them an important part of Indonesia’s progress in the future.
