The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences in collaboration with the Office of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection of Population and Family Planning Control (DP3AP2KB) Bogor Regency conducts productive economic business skills training for underprivileged and prosperous families 1. As many as 30 participants who took part in this training were members of the Program  Family of Hope (PKH) in Tenjolaya District, Bogor Regency, Thursday (10/31).

 

This activity was held with the aim of increasing family income through training in micro business management skills.  The proposed business to be developed in the Tenjolaya area is a catfish pecel shop.  The business development is carried out because PKH families have received catfish seedlings assistance from the Bogor District Fisheries and Fisheries Office.

 

In the training the participants were divided into 3 groups of 10 people to develop the catfish pecel shop business.  Each group will be given capital and various equipment to set up a catfish pecel shop.

 

The Head of the Consumer Science and Family Economics Division of IPB University as well as the guest speaker at this event, Dr. Ir Lilik Noor Yuliati, MFSA said that poverty is a complex problem that requires integrated and sustainable treatment.

 

“Therefore we need support and synergy from all parties in alleviating poverty.  We hope this program can run well so that in the end it can increase family income, “said the IPB University lecturer.

 

Lilik added, with the implementation of the program it was hoped that it could become one of the efforts in accelerating poverty reduction, especially in Bogor Regency.

“This November, training will be held in the Districts of Cijeruk, Leuwisadeng, Ciampea and Megamendung.  The training will later involve lecturers from the Consumer Science and Family Economics Division at the IKK IPB University Department.  This is real proof that IPB University has contributed to poverty reduction efforts in Bogor Regency, “concluded Lilik.  (Fika / RA)
