Indonesia’s Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) is implementing data digitalization to improve the accuracy and transparency of its social assistance programs. A key component of this initiative is the use of facial recognition technology to verify the identities of aid recipients. This technology aims to prevent fraud and ensure that benefits reach the intended individuals. The digitalization process intends to streamline the distribution of social assistance and enhance program efficiency. Kemensos believes this system will reduce errors and improve accountability in the allocation of funds. The move represents a broader effort by the government to leverage technology in public services. Further details regarding data privacy and security measures were not immediately available.
