Developed templates and metadata standards for the national “Village Information Form,” ensuring interoperability of local datasets with the Ministry’s central data system.
Collaborated with regional offices to pilot and refine data reporting methods, improving data reliability for evidence-based rural development planning.

Strategic Interventions & Policy Impact

Dana Desa Allocation Flexibility: In response to urgent concerns from village stakeholders about the perceived obligation to use 70% of Dana Desa for infrastructure development, we conducted an ad-hoc workshop and focus group discussion (FGD) at the village level. This spontaneous engagement aimed to clarify that, under Indonesia's decentralization policy, local governments and village authorities retain the autonomy to allocate Village Funds in ways that best meet their community needs — including for human resource development, capacity building, or social empowerment programs.

Evidence-Based Policy in Jambi: Served as the focal point for data and information at BALILATFO. Conducted qualitative data analysis in Jambi province, revealing that infrastructure-focused development policies inadvertently increased the Gini ratio. Identified that improved road access (from 1–2 hours travel time to just 30 minutes) led travelers to bypass village food stalls in favor of urban centers, reducing local economic activity. Provided evidence-based policy recommendations to address unintended socio-economic impacts.

Innovation: 3rd Generation AI (Analytical & Reasoning AI)

Initiated a third-generation AI model using Python-based machine learning to automate statistical analysis of village data.

The system aimed to detect Type II errors (missed detections) — meaning cases where the system failed to flag anomalies or inequalities.
It combined automated data cleaning, anomaly detection, and inferential validation — effectively trying to “think” like a policy analyst.
The project wasn’t completed due to limited funding, but the prototype demonstrated an early AI reasoning model for social policy data validation.

💬 AI role: Self-learning analytical AI for data quality control.

💬 Impact (potential): Early identification of hidden socio-economic patterns and policy blind spots.
