What Bali’s Social-Protection Data Collection Means

Denpasar — Bali’s social-protection data collection had reached 50.23 percent by 08:00 WITA on Oct. 9, according to reports on the provincial program.

The collection was carried out over four months and involved 12,295 agents distributed across Bali’s nine regencies and cities. The figures describe registration in the Perlindungan Sosial, or Perlinsos, system, which is being used to assemble and update information relevant to social assistance.

Why Bali’s data collection matters to readers

For foreign residents and visitors, the program is principally an Indonesian public-administration system rather than a service for tourists. Its practical significance lies in how authorities are building a digital record for social-protection eligibility and assistance among households in Bali.

Reports said the agents supported collection across the province, rather than concentrating on a single locality. The Bali Post report identified the participating areas as nine kabupaten/kota, or regencies and cities, and said the 50.23 percent figure was recorded at 08:00 WITA, Indonesia’s Central Indonesian Time zone, on Oct. 9.

The reported pace gives a snapshot of the program after four months, not a final completion rate. Other coverage described Bali as a testing ground for broader digitalization of social assistance, but the report underlying this item did not state a further deadline for completing the collection or describe a subsequent implementation stage.
