"We thanked BP MIGAS for its attention and care in facing the problems currently facing the nation," Social Affairs Minister Salim Segaf Al Jufri said in Jakarta Monday night.
A company with a coorporate sosial responsibility (CSR) by way of social activities is a big potential and is one form of implementing social solicarity values.
The MoU covers activities in social welfare including social empowerment, social rehabilitation, social security, and social protection.
The number of the poor in Indonesia this year according to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) had reached 31.02 million. To handle the poverty problem the government, in this case the social affairs ministry, is still dealing with poor families.
In the last five years, the ministry has empowered 66,293 KUBE, or 662,926 families comprising 165,509 poor families through centralized DIPA, and 498,417 families by way of deconcentrated DIPA projects.
Minister Salim Segaf Al Jufri said the figures was still far from the real figure of the existing poor population due to the government`s limited financial capacity.
"In view of this condition, it would be necessary to increase the participation of various national components along with the government in overcoming the social problems," the minister said.
In the meantime, head of BP Migas R Priyono said the cooperation with the social affairs ministry in overcoming poverty is crucial, because 50 percent of exploitation had been slowed down because of social problems.
He added that the program which will be drawn up will be directed to raise the economy of the people, especially of the community surrounding business enterprises.
