By: Nadhian Raulya*)
The government to be led by Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka has received broad support from various elements of society. Various development programs initiated by the previous government, especially those related to meeting the nutritional needs of the community, are expected to be continued in a better manner. One of the main focuses is the fulfillment of children’s nutrition, which receives attention and support from various cross-professional groups. This support highlights the importance of program continuity in producing a healthier and more productive generation towards a Golden Indonesia 2045.
In this regard, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), led by Anindya Bakrie, demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting the sustainability of government programs. The woman sees the importance of continuing the successes achieved under President Joko Widodo’s administration, especially in terms of economic stability and infrastructure development. Success in achieving the targets of the State Budget (APBN) has become one of the main focuses, with the hope that Prabowo’s government can reach even higher targets. Kadin, as an organization representing various economic sectors, is ready to make a tangible contribution in supporting various strategic government programs, ensuring that the Indonesian economy can continue to grow steadily and sustainably.
Meeting the nutritional needs of children is an important focus in addressing the issue of stunting, which remains a challenge in Indonesia. The Indonesian Medical Association (IDI), under the leadership of Dr. Adib Khumaidi SpOT, supports the planned measures by Prabowo-Gibran to improve the nutritional quality of children across the country. One of the proposed innovations is the use of fish milk as a solution for nutritional fulfillment, which is considered a suitable step to address stunting. With adequate nutritional improvement, it is hoped that the health quality of future generations can increase, allowing them to grow into productive, healthy, and competitive individuals.
In addition to the economic and health sectors, support also comes from the community represented by the Rampai Nusantara organization. This community organization holds the view that the development programs initiated by the previous government should be continued by Prabowo-Gibran, especially those related to industrial downstreaming and the development of the Nusantara Capital City. (IKN). Rampai Nusantara emphasizes the importance of maintaining unity among the nation’s leaders to face increasingly complex challenges in the future. The successes in development achieved during President Joko Widodo’s era, such as the acceleration of infrastructure development and the reduction of economic disparities, need to be continued with the same strong commitment by the next administration.
Industrial downstreaming has become one of the strategic agendas that must continue to be pursued. Through downstream processing, Indonesia can maximize the utilization of its natural resources, provide higher added value, and create new job opportunities. This can also strengthen the domestic industrial sector and enhance Indonesia’s competitiveness in the global market. The downstream program initiated by the previous government is considered successful, and now the challenge of expanding its scope lies in the hands of the Prabowo-Gibran administration. With strong support from the community and various sectors, the downstream program has great potential to further enhance economic growth and the welfare of the people.
The development of the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) is also one of the strategic projects that needs attention. This project aims not only to create a modern and sustainable government center but also to serve as a symbol of the nation’s progress. The new capital is expected to be a government hub that reflects Indonesia’s advancement towards becoming a developed country, with sophisticated and environmentally friendly infrastructure. Unity and cooperation among various elements of society are the main assets in facing the challenges that may arise in the process of developing the National Capital City (IKN).
In the context of the economy, Kadin sees the importance of the continuity of development programs that have been initiated by previous administrations. The success in building infrastructure such as toll roads in Papua and Sumatra is a real example of how equitable development has become a top priority. The improving infrastructure in various regions of Indonesia has a positive impact on local and national economic growth. The Prabowo-Gibran administration is expected to ensure that infrastructure development continues as planned and provides benefits for the wider community.
The community also sees the importance of maintaining stability and security under the new government. Rampai Nusantara assesses that the important role of the TNI and Polri in maintaining security during President Jokowi’s administration deserves appreciation, and it is hoped that this role will continue in the era of Prabowo-Gibran. Security and order are the foundations for the implementation of sustainable development programs, allowing the community to live safely and comfortably amid the government’s efforts to advance the nation.
The support coming from various elements of society shows that the Prabowo-Gibran administration has a great opportunity to succeed in implementing the flagship programs that have been planned. Programs for children’s nutritional fulfillment, industrial downstreaming, and the development of the new capital city Nusantara are strategic agendas that must be supported by all parties. With the collaboration and synergy between the government, the economic sector, health, and society, Indonesia has great potential to achieve its vision of becoming a prosperous developed country by 2045.
