Pekanbaru administration implements various public service and welfare initiatives

The Pekanbaru City Government, led by Mayor Agung Nugroho, is implementing several initiatives aimed at improving civil servant welfare and public services. The administration has set a target to accelerate the payment of salaries and additional employee income (TPP) for civil servants, aiming to complete disbursements before the 10th of each month to assist with household financial planning.

In terms of human resources, the city plans to expand its part-time government employee (PPPK) program through the “1 ASN 1 RW” initiative. This program aims to cover all 15 districts in Pekanbaru by early 2027, reaching 767 community units (RW) to enhance local service responsiveness.

Additionally, the city has launched a school uniform assistance program for nearly 20,000 public elementary and junior high school students. With an allocation of over Rp12.4 billion, the program seeks to reduce the economic burden on parents for the 2026/2027 academic year.
