Adapted from the original tribute by Peter Howitt, via CEPR / VoxEU. Following his passing in May 2026, we at the Association Global Economy reflect on how Edmund S.

Budiman Sudjatmiko: Building a Unified Digital Ecosystem to End Poverty in Indonesia

As Head of Indonesia's Poverty Alleviation Acceleration Agency (BP Taskin), Budiman Sudjatmiko is spearheading the integration of the government's flagship welfare programs — free nutritious meals, fisherman village initiatives, and housing assistance — into a single, data-driven digital ecosystem targeting 18.8 million households.

“Poverty alleviation is not a charity — it is an economic imperative. When 18 million families escape subsistence, they become consumers, taxpayers, and innovators.”

— Budiman Sudjatmiko, Head of BP Taskin, July 2026
