Acting Deputy for Strategic Studies: Strengthening Performance for Real Impact

“I invite all personnel of Lemhannas RI to continue strengthening cooperation, synergy, and collaboration in the implementation of every duty,” said Acting Deputy for Strategic Studies of  Lemhannas RI, Major General Ipung Purwadi, M.M., while reading the remarks of the Governor of Lemhannas RI. The statement was delivered during the January Flag Ceremony on Monday (1/19). Furthermore, the message emphasized that the monthly flag ceremony, consistently held each month, is not merely a ceremonial activity but also serves as a strategic forum to strengthen communication, reflect on performance, and provide a platform for dialogue between leaders and all Lemhannas RI personnel.

Focus on current conditions, all Lemhannas RI personnel are required to work optimally to address various challenges in implementing President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s Asta Cita program. “I urge all ranks of Lemhannas RI to immediately elaborate these policy directions into concrete and measurable work programs,” stated the Acting Deputy. One of the national priority programs that has been implemented is the Sekolah Rakyat (People’s School) program.

On January 12, 2026, a total of 166 Sekolah Rakyat across Indonesia were symbolically inaugurated by President Prabowo Subianto in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan. The Sekolah Rakyat program represents a concrete effort to break the cycle of poverty through equal access to education. The initiative focuses not only on building educational facilities but also on empowering underprivileged communities to gain proper access to education. Through this program, it is expected that a generation excelling academically, possessing strong character, and capable of becoming agents of change will emerge.

In this regard, the Acting Deputy on behalf of the Governor of Lemhannas RI, called on all personnel and education participants of Lemhannas RI to fully support the implementation of the Sekolah Rakyat program to ensure it runs optimally and delivers tangible benefits to society and the nation.

Regarding institutional dynamics, the Acting Deputy conveyed several key points requiring attention from all elements of Lemhannas RI.

First, the 2026 Fiscal Year budget of Lemhannas RI has been adjusted to Rp212 billion, allocated for national resilience development programs and management support programs. It is expected that budget realization in 2026 Fiscal Year will continue to improve while maintaining strong control and oversight functions to ensure that programs and budget execution proceed as planned.

Second, the Deputy for National-Level Leaders Education of Lemhannas RI has commenced the Preparation and Consolidation Program for the National-level Leaders (P4N) Batch LXIX as of January 13, 2026, which will run for five and a half months. In the third week of February, the Consolidation Program for National-level Leaders (P3N) Batch XXVII will begin. All relevant work units are requested to support both programs and promptly prepare the necessary operational infrastructure to ensure smooth implementation.

Third, in the field of strategic studies, in 2026 Lemhannas RI will focus on conducting various strategic assessments to strengthen the government’s capacity in addressing global challenges and reinforcing national resilience. These assessments include long-term national studies, rapid and urgent assessments, crisis risk assessments, as well as national and international scientific forums.

Fourth, in strengthening national values, Lemhannas RI will prioritize the Lemhannas Goes to Campus initiative to broaden understanding of national values among the younger generation, alongside leadership training programs, regional leadership consolidation courses, and a retreat for Regional Legislative Council (DPRD) Chairpersons planned to take place at the Military Academy in Magelang.

Highlighting these performance programs, the Acting Deputy for Strategic Studies, representing the Governor of Lemhannas RI, called on every element of the institution to remain committed, synergize, and collaborate in ensuring the success of each initiative. “With strong commitment, let us enhance our performance and deliver tangible contributions toward achieving the institution’s objectives,” he concluded.
