The Head of National Library, Muhamad Syarif Bando - 

 

National Library of Indonesia is currently intensively running the Social Inclusion-Based Library Transformation (TPBIS) program. The aim of this program is so that the library does not become an "ivory tower". The presence and benefits of the library must be felt by the community. One of them, encouraging the improvement of social welfare.

The Head of National Library of Indonesia, Muhammad Syarif Bando, explained, the aim of digital library transformation is to accelerate the formation of superior human beings in technology. Have innovation and creativity.

This program targets marginalized communities. Such as people in slum areas, people in poor areas, small farmers, small fish farmers, laborers, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), to housewives.

"Through this program, the community is given training to improve skills through applied books in the library," Syarif said in a talk show held by the Center for Library Analysis and Development of National Library of Indonesia's Reading Culture, on jawapos TV with the theme "Library Transformation Based on Social Inclusion ( TPBIS) Supports MSMEs", Saturday (17/12/2022)

According to Syarif, training and skills improvement for marginalized communities is very important. This is because they have been poor for four reasons. First, mastery of knowledge is lacking. Second, minimal innovation and creativity. Third, access to capital is lacking. Fourth is the culture of the people who speak more than read.

As for access to capital, Syarif explained, the Government had actually prepared a very large People's Business Credit (KUR). However, when people do not have the skills to produce goods and services, the KUR is not optimally absorbed. For this reason, improving community skills is very important.

According to a release received by Voice of Indonesia on Saturday, the library then moves in this field to improve people's skills, namely by providing applied science books. For villages, the National Library of Indonesia hopes that Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) can collaborate in improving community skills through applied science books provided by the library. "So that people can easily create goods and services," he added.

During the four years running, the TPBIS program has touched as many as 2,133,918 community members, who participated in 85,776 community engagement activities in the library. This shows the great public interest in this program. Many people have experienced the positive benefits of this program in an effort to improve their quality of life and welfare.
Indonesia, according to Syarif, has abundant natural resources but has not been optimally managed. Therefore, people need to be equipped with innovation and creativity as well as digital accessibility to increase their knowledge.

Along with the times, the role of the library is now no longer just managing a collection of books. The library paradigm has now changed, namely by prioritizing the transfer of knowledge to the public.
The paradigm built by the library is 10 percent managing collections, 20 percent managing knowledge, and 70 percent transferring knowledge.

Implementation of 70 percent transfer of knowledge is very important. Because, as stated by UNESCO, the last seat for everyone who is no longer in formal education is the library.

"So, for rural communities, of which, on average, 90 percent do not study at tertiary institutions, they can improve their skills and abilities by coming to the library," he said.

Meanwhile, Acting (Pj) Governor of W Sumatra, Akmal Malik agreed with the description submitted by the Head of National Library of Indonesia regarding inclusion-based library transformation.

Inclusion-based literacy is really needed by people in rural areas. This is the right choice in developing skills for farmers, fishermen and housewives.

"Regarding the aspect of capital, the Acting Governor of West Sumatra explained that intelligence is needed in managing the resources they have. "For example, in the maritime community there are coconut trees. Not always sold in the form of fruit only. Even though the fiber can be useful. The shell and the tree are the same."//VOI

The 2022 Inclusion-Based Library Transformation Program - 

 

The Social Inclusion-Based Library Transformation Program (TPBIS) which is implemented in libraries at the provincial, district/city to village/kelurahan levels is considered effective and the benefits are felt by the community.

Implementation of the 2020-2021 TPBIS program provides benefits in an effort to improve people's welfare with a program effectiveness value of 4.09 on a scale of 1-5. The total benefits of this program in 2020-2021 will reach more than IDR 570 billion.

This program has been independently replicated in 18 districts/cities and 1,125 villages/kelurahans. This can be seen in the evaluation delivered at the National Peer Learning Meeting (PLM) for the 2022 Inclusion-Based Library Transformation Program which was held in Surabaya, East Java, on Monday (5/12/2022).

The TPBIS program has been run by the National Library of Indonesia (Perpusnas) with support from Bappenas RI since 2018. This program is a library service approach that is committed to improving the quality of life and welfare of library users in all provinces in Indonesia.

The Head of National Library, Muhammad Syarif Bando, stated that the library's task is to educate and improve the welfare of the nation's children according to the mandate of the 1945 Constitution. The essence is to reduce marginalized communities. For this reason, libraries must transform from an exclusive paradigm to an inclusive one.

"This is the spirit of the spirit of library transformation," he added.

Indonesia, according to him, has abundant natural resources but has not been managed optimally. Therefore, people need to be equipped with innovation and creativity as well as digital accessibility to increase their knowledge.
“There is no use for libraries if people are still below the level of welfare. Don't let the library become an ivory tower," added the Head of National Library.

Welfare improvements can only be made if economic conditions are good, which is marked by an increase in per capita income and employment. One way to achieve prosperity is obtained by literacy skills.

Secretary to the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Susiwijono Moegiarso, explained that the role of the library is very much needed in preparing excellent and competitive human resources in facing global challenges.

"Libraries based on social inclusion are expected to increase information literacy for the community and based on information and communication technology can improve the quality of life of the community, improve welfare and also encourage creativity and reduce various gaps in access to information," he said.

He hopes that the 2022 National PLM can give birth to many innovative and applicable ideas and ideas in presenting a more inclusive library.

Head of General Affairs and Human Resources Bureau, Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture, Khamim, said the Social Inclusion-Based Library program had encouraged the birth of micro, small and medium enterprises (UMKM) by the community around the library.

"Within the framework of the mental revolution policy, especially the Indonesia Mandiri MSMEs Movement, it is necessary to accommodate it in the form of cooperatives so that the spirit of mutual cooperation and togetherness will always be the pillar or basis of economic development," he said.

He requested that the TPBIS program continue to be expanded. “We need to push even harder to increase the participation of other villages. Therefore, budget support and collaboration across ministries/agencies are needed to expand the program," he added.

In the National PLM, National Library of Indonesia gives awards to libraries that have successfully implemented TPBIS, namely the Best Synergy Team for 2022 coming from the Provinces of South Sumatra, West Sumatra Province, and South Sulawesi Province.

The three best Regency/City Libraries in 2022 are the Singkawang City Library and Archives Service, West Kalimantan; Padang Panjang City Library and Archive Service, West Sumatra; and the Library and Archives Service of Kapuas Hulu District, West Kalimantan.

The Best Village/Kelurahan Libraries for 2022 in implementing social inclusion-based library transformation are the Rambah Muda Village Library, Rokan Hulu Regency, Riau; Kariango Village Library, North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi; Iloponu Village Library, Gorontalo District, Gorontalo//VOI

The Indonesian government launched the "Global Blended Finance Alliance" at the Tri Hita Karana (THK) Sustainable Development Forum 2022 on Sunday, November 13, 2022 at Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center, ITDC area, Bali. Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves), Luhut B. Pandjaitan said in his opening remarks that this launch would build capacity across the government, private sector, and philanthropy to make a better mix.

"This alliance will be based in Bali and we invite all parties to partner with us. We don't have time to give up if we want to open trillions of investments every year. We need to do this for our future generations," said Coordinating Minister Marves in his opening remarks.

The Coordinating Minister for Marves welcomed the THK Forum as a concrete action step to accelerate investment in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). "As co-host of the Tri Hita Karana Forum, the Government of Indonesia is proud to see that we have helped catalyze more than USD30 billion for projects and initiatives related to SDGs this year through blended finance solutions. This is three times what we did at the last THK Forum in 2018," added the Coordinating Minister for Marves.

But in addition, Indonesia is still experiencing financial gaps, especially in climate-related financing. Coordinating Minister Marves said during the 15th Conference of Parties (COP15) United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFFC), developed countries have committed to the common goal of mobilizing USD 100 billion per year by 2020 for climate action in developing countries. In addition, around USD 3.3-4.5 trillion per year needs to be mobilized to achieve the 2030 SDGs Agenda.

"The Indonesian government has identified a fair and affordable transition from coal to clean energy as a national priority and has included an energy transition driven by sustainable financing mechanisms. In line with its global climate change mitigation goals, Indonesia has increased its NDC target by September 2022 and is committed to achieve net zero emissions by 2060 or sooner," said the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs.

According to a release received by Voice of Indonesia on Sunday (13/11/22), Indonesia is currently finalizing cooperation negotiations with the International Partners Group led by the United States-Japan for the Equitable Energy Transition Partnership program.

"We are ready to implement programs towards phased-down including early retirement of coal-fired power plants for significant greenhouse gas reductions for more ambitious NDC targets. I am proud of the work that has been done to finance the transition to a clean energy system. This will require international funding to move faster," explained the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs.

In addition, Indonesia has proven an increase in economic growth up 5.72 percent year-on-year in the third quarter. The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs expressed his pride at the existence of blended finance solutions for Indonesia's nature which is included as the first sustainable landscape bond in the world and a new fund for biodiversity.

"We've also developed carbon finance regulations because we have rainforests, peatlands, mangroves and coral reefs that are incredible and need protection and we need to find ways to pay for it. I was delighted to see so many business and financial leaders attend today's hearing "Right now a more sustainable world is the best way to encourage growth and build resilience to economic shocks," concluded the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs//VOI
