Palu city to implement poverty awareness program in urban areas


PALU city is set to implement a poverty awareness program in a bid to alleviate deprivation in urban areas and speed up the city's overall development.

Palu city Legislative Council speaker, Andi Mulhanan Tombolotutu, said a program targeting those in need of welfare assistance would be prioritized, but there were limited funds from the General Allocations Fund (DAU).


"Funds from the DAU are very scant, so we will first focus more on the poverty awareness program," Mulhanan said.
