Let's Succeed Cantik Village!

One of the programs that will be implemented by BPS in 2022 is the Development of Cantik Villages, namely Cantik Village, Cinta Statistik Village. This guidance is a continuous and comprehensive development of sectoral statistics at the village level. This program has been implemented in 2021 and will be implemented again in 2022.

The general objectives of this program are to:

1. Increase literacy, awareness and active role of village/kelurahan officials and the community in organizing statistical activities.,

2. Standardization of Statistical Data Management to maintain the quality and comparability of statistical indicators,

3. Optimizing the use and utilization of statistical data so that development programs in villages/kelurahan are on target,

4. Establish statistical agents at the village/kelurahan level.

This Cantik Village Program will be implemented at the village level with several predetermined criteria. Among them are the presence of a computer or internet in the village/kelurahan office as well as having tourism potential or superior product potential.

One of the initial activities carried out by the BPS for South Lampung Regency was to carry out an initial announcement/socialization to selected villages as Cantik Villages. There are four villages where statistical training will be carried out, namely:

a. Pasuruan Village, Kec. Penengahan

b. Sidodadi Village, Kec. Sidomulyo

c. Cintamulya Village, Kec. Candipuro

d. Kedaton Village. district. Kalianda

One of the villages that has been declared is Pasuruan Village, Kec. Penengahan. The declaration of Cantik Village took place in Pasuruan Village in Penengahan District on Friday, August 26, 2022. Enthusiasm was seen in the invitees who took part in the activity which was coupled with a Forum Group Discussion (FGD). In attendance were local officials and community leaders such as the Head of Penengahan, Pasuruan Village Head, BPD Head, LPM, all village apparatus/apparatus, community leaders, as well as youth/coral cadets and PKK women.

Head of BPS South Lampung Regency, Arif Rahman Maulana, in his speech which was also the inauguration of the declaration, one of the points conveyed was that the Village was no longer considered an object of development, but was placed as the subject and spearhead of development in improving the welfare of the community, so that the Cantik Village program is expected to be able to help and provide great benefits to the village.

This activity was closed with guidance on sectoral statistics by Pudjiono SST, MM. as the coach of Cantik Village, followed by a relaxed discussion about the technical implementation. Let's make the Cantik Village activities a success!
