The Indonesian government is advancing the development of the Merah Putih Village/Kelurahan Cooperatives (KDKMP) through personnel placement and professional training.

Initially, the placement of approximately 30,000 managers remained pending as the government coordinated with the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises to assign personnel to their home regions. In Bali, 174 units were reported as operational, primarily focusing on basic necessity stalls, though local authorities requested more central support for capital and human resources.

Following these preparations, the Ministry of Cooperatives launched an intensive eight-day internship program for 54 managers from 31 provinces to improve financial governance and entrepreneurship. While infrastructure development has progressed, such as the construction of 317 buildings in Lamongan, operational capacity remains limited with only 90 units active in that area. Legislative figures have suggested formalizing KDKMP as an integrated economic ecosystem through new Cooperative Law to transition from voluntary CSR programs to mandatory business partnerships involving banks and the private sector.
