Poverty handling data integration

Problem

We need to develop a Poverty Handling Data Integration system because poverty data, particularly regarding welfare variables for residents (families and family members) included in the Social Welfare Data (DTKS), is still dispersed across various sources in our region. Additionally, we are facing several other challenges, including fragmented data sources, inconsistent data formats, lack of real-time data updates, data duplication, and insufficient collaboration between agencies.

Status quo

From 2021 to 2023, the Social Agency of Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) has been developing the Regional Integrated Social Welfare Data Application (DTKS). The focus of development has evolved over these years. In 2021, the focus was on calculating welfare rankings, followed by a focus on data collection and variable completeness in 2022. In 2023, the initiative expanded to integrate with the Regency/City Government to improve the regional DTKS database for addressing local poverty, with Sleman Regency and Yogyakarta City as pilot projects. Currently, the application has completed one round of Regional Integrated Social Welfare Data determination for 2022, and data entry is ongoing for the 2023 determination. The data generated has already helped target the 2024 Social Security for the Elderly (JSLU) program. However, with ongoing development, the need for better data management has emerged, requiring continuous collection, ranking, and integration of poverty-handling data with population data, dashboards, and periodic public information. With the increase in data volume, there is a risk of reduced application performance, especially noticeable in the slowdown of system commands.

Action

• Revamp Data Storage: We’re restructuring how information is organized, making it quicker and easier to access details about poverty rankings and recipients of social aid.
• Update the Interface: We’ll make the application more intuitive and user-friendly, enhancing its functionality for everyday use.
• Improve Service Connections: To allow smoother collaboration, we’ll simplify how this application links with other programs.
• Connect Regional Data: We’re making it possible to access poverty data from Bantul, Gunungkidul, and Yogyakarta City, and refining our link with Sleman’s Simnangkis database.
• Combine with Social Welfare Services: This will enable us to better track and visualize the number of social welfare needs addressed by various shelters.
• Build a Public Landing Page: A new page will be added so that people can easily find information and updates on social assistance.
• Enhance Aid Recommendations: Improving this feature will help recommend aid recipients more accurately.
• Develop a Management Dashboard: This will give decision-makers clear insights and overviews to help with planning.
• Better Visuals in Registration: Enhancements will make graphics in the registration section clearer and more informative.
• Integration with public service portal app: allows for the facilitation of two-way consultation and interaction between government and citizens.

How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?

The development of the Poverty Handling Data Integration Application aims to enhance the current system by focusing on redesigning the database and implementing all necessary technical adjustments. This includes creating dashboards, supporting integration with another app, enabling integration with other services, adding matching features, and providing informative landing pages. It is expected that Poverty Handling Data Integration will serve as a reliable foundation for a data-driven regional poverty alleviation strategy. Additionally, the platform is intended to facilitate more targeted and impactful poverty intervention efforts, with the involvement of a broader range of stakeholders.
