How to Contribute as a Collaborator in the KSBB UMKM Program

On April 23, 2020, the Government of Jakarta initiated the Large-Scale Social Collaboration (KSBB) as a medium for people who want to help each other during the Covid-19 pandemic. With this, you can actively participate in distributing aid packages with the help of an interactive map on the corona.jakarta.go.id site. The benefits of the KSBB program had been felt by more than 80 thousand families (KK).

At the end of July, the Government of Jakarta expanded the function of the KSBB program with the launch of a new donation platform called KSBB UMKM, which aimed at helping MSMEs (Micro Small Medium Enterprises) in Jakarta.

The principles remain the same. All assistance channeled through KSBB UMKM comes from the general public, not the government, which in this case only acts as a facilitator.

How to Make a Donation in KSBB UMKM?

Given the huge contribution it gives, MSMEs are often seen as the backbone of Jakarta's economy. However, the Coronavirus outbreak made MSMEs the most vulnerable economic group amid the pandemic.

In order to survive, they must face numerous challenges and limitations that arise during this difficult time. The forms of the obstacles may vary, from difficulties in obtaining funds to meeting the necessary hygiene standards.

If you want to contribute and help ease the burden of the MSMEs entrepreneurs, you can visit the main page of KSBB UMKM.

There, you can find three alternative types of assistance packages that will be provided: Facilities and Infrastructure Package, the Capital Loan Package, and the Training Package.
