In early October 2026, the Regent focused on reducing stunting rates, noting a decline from 8.04% in December 2025 to 7.47% in August 2026. He emphasized that data must reflect reality to prevent new cases and addressed improvements in health services, education, and infrastructure. By late October 2026, the administration shifted focus toward reforming poverty data to ensure social assistance reaches the correct recipients. The Regent proposed a bottom-up data collection method involving neighborhood and community heads to correct discrepancies in economic assessments. To support these efforts, the local government is advancing a digital social protection system, with over 54,000 residents activating Digital Population Identity as of October 28, 2026. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-31: Kediri Regent proposes bottom-up approach to improve social assistance data Kediri Regent Hanindhito Himawan Pramana is implementing a bottom-up data collection strategy involving local neighborhood leaders to ensure social assistance reaches the most eligible residents. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kediri-regent-proposes-bottom-up-approach-to-improve-social-assistance-data ### 2026-10-05: Kediri Regent orders data-driven approach to stunting and regional priorities Kediri Regent Hanindhito Himawan Pramana has ordered officials to use real field data to manage stunting reduction, education quality, and social welfare programs, warning against inaccurate reporting. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kediri-regent-orders-data-driven-approach-to-stunting-and-regional-priorities --- Cite as: Kediri Regency regional development and data initiatives.
