Hari Desa Nasional is commemorated every 15 January as a momentum to reaffirm the strategic role of villages in national development. Villages serve as the frontline of public service delivery, centers of local economic growth, and guardians of cultural values and local wisdom.

In 2026, National Village Day carries the tagline “Build Villages, Build Indonesia; Villages at the Forefront for Indonesia; Building Villages toward Golden Indonesia 2045.” This commemoration serves as a reminder that independent, inclusive, and sustainable village development is a vital foundation for realizing a progressive, resilient, and globally competitive Indonesia.

Dear Wantimpres Colleagues, support for strengthening village development is an integral part of our collective efforts to achieve equitable and sustainable national development.
