A Conversation with Ridwan Kamil: New Approaches to Village Modernization
Fellowship Agenda
Improving its 50 million people's livelihood is an extensive theme in West Java. One of the most significant gaps lies in village development. During the five years of Ridwan Kamil's reign as the governor, there has been massive effort and budget shifting to the village to bridge the gap and improve overall livelihood. The result is the successful reduction of highly underdeveloped and underdeveloped villages. This achievement is attributed to the efforts of the West Java Provincial Government, which focused on three main pillars of rural transformation: digital transformation, economic and social resilience, and infrastructure development.
Through digital transformation, the government aimed to improve access to information and communication technology, which could help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of local governance and promote entrepreneurship and innovation in rural areas. To create jobs and promote social cohesion, economic and social resilience is prioritized through community-based initiatives. Finally, the government invested heavily in infrastructure development, including roads, bridges, and other public facilities, to improve access to essential services and connect rural areas to urban centers.
All of these efforts were geared towards improving the lives and livelihoods of the villagers, with a particular focus on reducing poverty and inequality in rural areas. Through these initiatives, West Java has made significant strides toward rural transformation, hoping to create a more prosperous and sustainable future for all its citizens.
