Presiden Prabowo & Kopdes Merah Putih: Dorong Ekonomi Desa

President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to inaugurate the Koperasi Desa/Kelurahan Merah Putih (Village/Urban Cooperative “Merah Putih”) on Monday, July 21, 2025. This initiative is part of the President’s sixth Asta Cita (Visionary Aspiration), which aims to revitalize local economies and address poverty from the village level. Kopdes Merah Putih is one of the key strategies introduced under President Prabowo’s administration, known as the “trident of poverty eradication,” which also includes health and education. These initiatives highlight the government’s commitment to making tangible improvements in welfare. Implemented through Presidential Instruction No. 9 of 2025, the Kopdes Merah Putih program seeks to uplift communities from poverty by building the national economy from the village level upwards, involving multiple governmental agencies and local authorities across Indonesia. The program aims to eliminate illegal lending and middlemen in rural economies and enhance access to resources and services, particularly benefiting farmers by shortening supply chains and enhancing food security. By establishing new cooperatives, expanding existing ones, and revitalizing underperforming cooperatives, Kopdes Merah Putih will provide essential goods, healthcare services, and financial assistance to local communities, fostering economic growth and alleviating poverty.
