National Village Day, commemorated every 15 January, serves as an important moment to reaffirm the strategic role of villages in national development. Villages stand at the forefront of public service delivery, function as centers of local economic growth, and serve as guardians of cultural values and local wisdom.

The 2026 National Village Day carries the tagline “Build Villages, Build Indonesia. Villages at the Forefront for Indonesia. Building Villages for Indonesia Emas 2045.” This commemoration underscores that independent, inclusive, and sustainable village development is a vital foundation for realizing an advanced and globally competitive Indonesia.

Support for strengthening village development is an integral part of our collective efforts to achieve equitable, inclusive, and sustainable national development.
