One of them is in collaboration with 21 institutions / organizations, communities, and startups through the signing of the Cooperation Agreement (PKS) on the Implementation of Disaster Management, especially flood inJakarta.

The Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan together with the cooperation partners signed the agreement at Jakarta City Hall, Central Jakarta on Thursday (2/1/2020). In his remarks, Anies said that the government was responsible for facilitating the community who want to channeling help.

According to Anies, this agreement will clarify the mapping of aid and types of community support, so it can be accommodated into one. "What we are working on is new. Collaborating like this is new we are working on. Previously it was only announced, then on its own. Now we are working on it as a partnership," Anies said.
