Indonesia to Promote Social Welfare Diplomacy with DNIKS

The Indonesian government has announced its policy to promote the utilization of the Indonesian National Social Welfare Information System (DNIKS) to strengthen international contributions and cooperation in the social welfare sector. This initiative aims to share the experience and know-how accumulated in social welfare policies with the international community, thereby further advancing social welfare diplomacy. DNIKS is a system designed to centrally manage information related to social welfare within Indonesia, thereby improving the efficiency of policy formulation and service delivery. The data and insights collected and analyzed through this system can serve as valuable reference materials for considering countermeasures to social welfare challenges faced by other countries. Particularly, information on Indonesia's successful cases and overcome challenges in areas such as poverty reduction, child rights protection, elderly welfare, and support for persons with disabilities may attract significant interest, especially from developing countries. As a key nation in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), Indonesia has historically led cooperation towards solving regional social issues. The promotion of social welfare diplomacy utilizing DNIKS is expected to further deepen such regional contributions and enhance Indonesia's voice and influence in the international community. The government is likely to proceed with formulating a concrete roadmap for the international deployment of DNIKS. Source: Sindonews
