Under the administration of Governor Anies Baswedan and Deputy Governor Sandiaga Uno, the Jakarta Provincial Government plans to increase the operational funds for Rukun Tetangga (RT) to Rp 2 million and Rukun Warga (RW) to Rp 2.5 million per month starting in 2018. Currently, the operational funds for RT are Rp 1.5 million and for RW are Rp 2 million per month.
