As stated by the Commander of Iskandar Muda (IM), Major General TNI Niko Fahrizal, M. Tr (Han) who expressed his appreciation for the progress of the construction of the AMANAH Central Building where progress has reached 85%. This appreciation was expressed when Maj. Gen. Niko Fahrizal inspected the construction of AMANAH which is located in Ladong Village, Masjid Raya District, Aceh Besar Regency.
Maj. Gen. Niko Fahrizal hopes that the construction of the AMANAH building can be completed on time and in accordance with the specified specifications, so that it can immediately be used to accommodate Acehnese youth who have superior potential.
The AMANAH Central Building is one of BIN’s initiatives together with other stakeholders and is the Aceh Government’s flagship program which aims to produce a young generation of Acehnese who are intelligent, creative and with character. The building will be equipped with various facilities, such as classrooms, laboratories, libraries and dormitories.
The building will also become a center for business and entrepreneurship development which can encourage the progress of Aceh’s young generation and help improve the people’s economy as a whole. Through the construction of the AMANAH Building, it shows that there is a strong commitment from the government and other stakeholders in supporting the potential of young people, especially in the Aceh region.
The AMANAH building will also become a center for business and entrepreneurship development that can encourage the progress of Aceh’s young generation and help improve the people’s economy as a whole.
The construction of the AMANAH Central Building is targeted for completion by the end of 2024. Through this construction, it shows a strong commitment from the government and other stakeholders in supporting the potential of young people, especially in the Aceh region.
The Acting Regent of South Aceh, Cut Syazalisma, also appreciated the presence of the AMANAH Building and was ready to participate in making this program a success. With development that has shown progress, Cut Syazalisma hopes that AMANAH’s programs can be implemented well and successfully, so that they can generate an entrepreneurial spirit, such as in the agricultural sector through modernization and provide a deeper understanding of the potential of agriculture to Aceh’s young people.
Following up on this support, Acting. The Regent of South Aceh has granted permission to borrow 7 hectares of land belonging to the South Aceh Regency Government in Gampong Baro, Pasie Raja District, to be used as a location for implementing the AMANAH program. Through this collaboration, it is hoped that the agricultural sector will become an attractive and promising career choice for the younger generation.
The South Aceh District Government will synergize with the Millennial Farmer Ambassadors and the AMANAH Team. Acting The Regent instructed SKPK South Aceh to support the successful implementation of the AMANAH program in South Aceh. Apart from lending land, the South Aceh Regency Government will also provide free PAD for 5 years to the AMANAH team, with the hope that the program will be implemented well and make a direct contribution to the welfare of the community.
In recent years, Aceh has experienced quite rapid development in various sectors, but the challenge of empowering the younger generation still remains. It is hoped that the presence of the AMANAH building will be an effective solution to overcome these various challenges. With this facility, the younger generation has a representative place to develop creative and innovative ideas. This building will be an ideal space for young people to gather, collaborate and learn from each other, thereby creating an environment conducive to the growth and development of new ideas.
One of the most prominent things about the construction of the AMANAH building is its positive impact on the regional economy. With this business development center, more new jobs will be created, thereby reducing the unemployment rate in Aceh. In the long term, businesses that develop from the AMANAH program have the potential to become a driving force for the local economy, increasing regional competitiveness, and providing wider economic benefits for the community. This is a strategic move that could bring significant changes to Aceh’s economic structure, steering it towards more inclusive and sustainable growth.
It is also hoped that the AMANAH building can function as an incubator for innovative business ideas. The facilities available in this building, such as meeting rooms, co-working spaces, and access to experienced business mentors, will greatly assist young people in developing and realizing their business ideas. This business incubator can be a place for young people to learn and hone their entrepreneurial skills, so that they can be ready to face challenges in the real world of business. This comprehensive support is very important in creating a conducive and sustainable business ecosystem in Aceh.
Apart from that, the progress of the construction of the AMANAH building also shows how important collaboration between various parties is. Appreciation should be given to all parties involved in this project, from the government, private sector, to local communities. This collaboration shows that when all parties unite and work together, extraordinary results can be achieved. This is a real example of how synergy between various elements of society can produce initiatives that are beneficial for mutual progress.
From a social perspective, the AMANAH building also has the potential to strengthen social relations among Aceh’s young generation. By having a special place to gather and interact, young people can build stronger and wider networks. This will help the younger generation share knowledge, experience and resources, which in turn can accelerate the learning and self-development process. This building can also become a center for community activities, where various events and programs can be held to support the social and cultural development of young people.
Overall, the progress in the construction of the AMANAH building is a positive step that should be appreciated so that we can continue to move forward and develop, towards a brighter and more prosperous future for all.
