On Wednesday, September 12 2013, the Wawonduru Village Posyandu Cadre Forum requested information from the Information Management and Documentation Officer (PPID) in Dompu Regency, NTB. This request for information was a follow-up to a community discussion held the day before in the Wawonduru Village Office Hall. Requests for information were made on behalf of Juwairiah, by requesting the following information:

1. Information on mechanisms or implementation instructions and technical guidelines (Juklak-Juknis) for the Slum Housing Program, 2012-2013. According to residents, the evaluation indicators for obtaining assistance for slum houses are still unclear, and the difference in funds received is also a separate problem, so that the badly damaged houses were unable to be repaired in 2012.
2. Information about the Juklak-Juknis for free health programs, especially those concerning services to Jamkesmas and Jakat card users. Recognition of the community, they have difficulty getting health services because the card owned by the community is considered no longer valid.
3. Information about funds for the Supplementary Feeding activity at the Posyandu in Wawonduru Village, which has not been running for the last two months.
4. Information about training programs for Posyandu cadres, knowledge on how to fill in data, and how to attract attention/invite mothers to always be present at Posyandu services.

6. Information about Independent Student Assistance (BSM) at SD No. 08 Woja. According to local residents, the provision of BSM depends on closeness to the school principal, and the amount received by students is also very small on the grounds that it is cut for school needs..
