Abstract

Indonesia is the country with the most COVID-19 cases in Southeast Asia. Indonesian older adults are facing the biggest threat and risk of infection. There are millions of underprivileged families expecting government aid during the pandemic. This article discusses the active role of local government units and community organisations, such as sub-districts or village offices and officially affiliated youth organisations, in ensuring unprivileged Indonesians’ safety and welfare. Local government and community organisations are also involved in the delivery of government aid to beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic.
