Indonesian Government Launches Land Redistribution Program for Extremely Poor

Targeting 1 Million Beneficiaries

The Indonesian government has announced plans to distribute state-owned land to 1 million extremely poor citizens through the Land Objects for Agrarian Reform (TORA) program. Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment Muhaimin Iskandar revealed that the initiative will prioritize the poorest segments of society, particularly those in the first and second deciles.

Addressing Wealth Inequality

This land redistribution program is part of the government's broader efforts to address wealth inequality and support economic development in disadvantaged regions. By providing land to those who need it most, the government aims to create opportunities for economic empowerment and improve living standards for the most vulnerable populations.

Implementation and Collaboration

The program involves collaboration between various government agencies, including the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN). Minister Nusron Wahid of ATR/BPN worked closely with Muhaimin Iskandar to develop the initiative, ensuring that the land distribution process is carried out efficiently and effectively.
