Jakarta, 25 July 2025
The Ministry of Youth and Sports, in collaboration with the Education Endowment Fund (LPDP), launched the Sports Scholarship Program on July 10th, 2025, at the Ministry’s Media Center. On July 25th, 2025, IADO delivered an official letter expressing its highest appreciation and gratitude to the Minister for that program, initiated by the Minister. That program demonstrates the government’s commitment to improving the quality and competence of sports human resources. IADO should submit a report on this initiative to WADA as a demonstration of the Indonesian government’s concern for sports personnel, including those involved in anti-doping activities.
IADO has deserved to deliver this appreciation, as the target applicants include sports personnel involved in doping control, namely: Doping Education Presenters and Doping Control Officers. So, since the program was launched, IADO has disseminated it to them, because until now IADO has 12 Doping Education Presenters (PRESI) spread throughout Indonesia (from the selection of 280 participants in early 2024), and also 48 Doping Control Officers (DCO) who mostly reside and work in Jakarta and its suburbs as well as in other provinces outside Jakarta, in which all of them have been accredited by SEARADO periodically. It is hoped that there will be PRESI and DCO personnel who apply for the Sports Program Scholarship.
