The Jakarta government received the Anindhita Wistara Data Award 2026 in the Best Provincial Government Category I from Statistics Indonesia (BPS).

The award is presented as a form of appreciation for the commitment, hard work, and synergy of ministries, institutions, and regional governments in presenting high-quality statistical data.

The award was accepted directly by Jakarta City Secretary Uus Kuswanto during the 2026 Anindhita Wistara Data awarding night on Wednesday (11/11) evening.

BPS Head Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti explained that the title Anindita Wistara Data holds profound significance: Anindita denotes perfection, Wistara represents clear and insightful elaboration, and data signifies the underlying information.

"This reflects the collaboration between BPS, ministries, and agencies to present data alongside clear and perfect explanations," Amalia explained.

She highlighted that the award stems from the Sectoral Statistics Implementation Evaluation (EPSS), which generates the Statistical Development Index (IPS).

"The IPS measures the overall maturity of sectoral statistical management and stands as a key priority indicator within the 2025–2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN)," she explained.

She detailed that the evaluation and guidance framework encompassed 91 ministries and agencies, 38 provincial administrations, and 514 regencies and municipalities.

Participation reached a full 100 percent across all ministries, central agencies, and provincial governments, while regency and municipal participation reached 98.63 percent, involving 507 of 514 regional entities.

"We hope this recognition inspires central and regional institutions to elevate their data quality standards, building a National Statistical System that is more robust, meaningful, and directly drives sustainable progress across Indonesia," she added.

Jakarta City Secretary Uus Kuswanto expressed his gratitude for winning the 2026 Anindhita Wistara Data award in the Best Provincial Government Category I from BPS, highlighting the effective use of data to drive targeted public programs.

"Insya Allah (God willing), the data collected and processed will be meaningful and beneficial for Jakarta's ongoing development," he stated.
