The other three strategies were increasing access to health, increasing access to education, and revitalizing youth. Then in the 2017-2022 RPJMD, to realize the first mission, two goals and objectives were set. First, realizing Jakarta is a safe, orderly and inclusive city with development goals that are gender equitable and women and child friendly (IPG). Second, realizing healthy, intelligent, and working people with the goal of ensuring access and quality education, health and empowerment services for all (IPM).

He also explained, 18 of the 23 work promises were related to gender mainstreaming, such as KJP plus, KJS plus, new jobs and increased entrepreneurship, to integrated public transportation development.

For example, the use of Carik Jakarta data during the pandemic, the integrated service center for women and child violence at the Tarakan RUSD, gender support in various public facilities, and the collaboration of the Jakarta DPPAPP and TP PKK towards enduring families," he uttered.
