Illustration (Istimewa) The Joko Widodo administration has set human resource development as its priority program for the second presidential term from 2019-2024.
The targeted investment in human resources will not just cover education, but also medical care since good health helps people realize their potential and ward off illness.
One of the priority issues for the program involves grooming a healthy younger generation, or a golden generation, for “onward Indonesia”, a term that refers to Widodo’s ministerial line-up.
The government considers the current condition of children under the age of five as a reflection of Indonesia’s future. Hence, the administration is prioritizing drastically reducing stunting rate among Indonesian children.
