Food Security Program Allocation Fund

Head of the Asei Besar Village in East Sentani District, Antoneta Ohee, said that his party had formed a farmer group based on the tribe / train that lived in the village.

"There are ten groups formed by tribe or train in the village. The amount also varies, "Antoneta explained when met at Harapan Village in Sentani District. Friday (5/15).

According to Antoneta, from the 10 farmer groups formed, they will again manage their respective hamlets and gardens.

Initially we proposed to the Government to provide assistance to the sago and netted grater machines, because the potential that is currently owned is the sago forest and Lake Sentani.

"With the allocation of village funds as a food security program provided by the government, it will be given entirely to farmer groups to develop the natural potential they have in handling this co-19 period," he said.

The government's request to return to the Kampung and manage the natural resources owned in each Kampung is very appropriate.

In addition to epidemics, covid 19 also had a positive impact on residents who had to stay home, return to the garden, but there was also a lot of time spent with family, Antoneta said.

"The villagers look very responsive to everything, remind each other, help and also jointly protect the condition and environment of the village from the influence of interference from people outside the village," he said.

Antoneta, in running all the Government systems in the Village, many asked for consideration with the village elders but also the District Government as the smallest coordination line in the Village Government.

"As a housewife, but also takes care of the village administration to run well, all matters are discussed together and openly. In terms of assistance, we have agreed to give to those who really need it, "he said.
