The Posyandu Manager and Cadre Decree with Integrated 6 Minimum Service Standards (SPM)

The implementation of Permendagri Nomor 13 Tahun 2024 regarding the Integrated Service Post (Posyandu) has triggered a massive paradigm shift in the governance of community institutions at the village and urban-village levels. As of 2026, the Posyandu is no longer synonymous solely with infant weighing, immunizations, or maternal health. Through this latest regulation, Posyandu has evolved into a comprehensive basic service center that integrates the 6 Minimum Service Standards (6 SPM) in a holistic manner.

This fundamental change demands high administrative readiness from village governments, particularly regarding the legal standing of the personnel serving on the front lines. As the spearhead of village public service, establishing a formal organizational structure through a Village Head Decree (SK) is both crucial and urgent. This decree is not merely a box-ticking exercise for an audit; it serves as a robust legal “umbrella” for the Steering Team, Managers, and Cadres to execute technical tasks. Furthermore, it provides the legal legitimacy required for personnel to receive incentive rights sourced from the Village Budget (APB Desa).

This technical guide provides an exhaustive breakdown of the 2026 Decree drafting process, ensuring that all Posyandu elements are seamlessly integrated with the six SPM fields.

Latest Juridical Foundations for the 2026 Decree

Drafting a legal decree requires meticulous attention to detail, especially when listing the “Considering” (Recalling) section to ensure it possesses fixed legal force. Based on the 2026 regulatory map, the Decree for Posyandu Managers and Cadres must reference the following juridical hierarchy:

• Undang-Undang Nomor 3 Tahun 2024: The Second Amendment to Law Number 6 of 2014 on Villages.
• Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2023: Concerning Health.
• Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 16 Tahun 2026: Regarding the Implementation of the Village Law.
• Minister of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri) No. 13 of 2024: Regarding Integrated Service Posts (Posyandu).
• Permendagri 44/2016 and Situbondo Regent Regulation No. 31 of 2018: Concerning Village-Scale Local Authorities.
• Situbondo Regent Regulation No. 48 of 2023: Guidelines for the Arrangement of Village Community Institutions (LKD) and Customary Institutions (LAD).

The Village Posyandu Steering Team (TP-Posyandu)

Before the field teams are formalized, the village government must establish the Posyandu Steering Team (TP-Posyandu). The TP-Posyandu serves as the primary facilitator and coordinator, ensuring that all services meet national standards. This team acts as the bridge between regional policy and field-level implementation.

The structure of the Village TP-Posyandu is specifically designed with ex-officio characteristics:

• Advisor: Directly held by the Village Head.
• Chairperson: Held by the spouse of the Village Head. If unavailable, this role falls to the spouse of the Village Secretary.
• Secretary: Responsible for the team’s administration.
• Treasurer: Responsible for managing the steering funds.
• Technical Coordinators: Field heads overseeing the 6 SPM services (Education, Health, PW, Housing, Safety, and Social).

The primary duties of the TP-Posyandu include program direction, inter-sectoral coordination, operational assistance, building cadre capacity, and conducting routine monitoring and evaluation of Posyandu service quality.

Operational Structure: Managers and Cadres

According to the latest Permendagri mandate, the field operations of Posyandu are divided into two primary, collaborative components:

1. Posyandu Managers (Managerial Layer)

Managers are the management layer responsible for the planning, coordination, and operational reporting of the Posyandu unit at the hamlet or RW level. The core structure consists of a Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer, and Section Heads for each of the 6 SPM service areas.

2. Posyandu Cadres (Technical Execution Layer)

Cadres are community members who help execute the service tasks. Cadres operate under the coordination of the Field Heads. In 2026, it is highly recommended that one cadre is dedicated to only one specific service area to maintain high focus and service quality.

Technical Roles: Who Does What?

The 2026 Decree must explicitly define the division of labor between the managerial and technical layers to ensure “Good Village Governance.”

Responsibilities of the Management (Pengurus):

• Drafting and proposing program plans to the Village Government for inclusion in the APB Desa.
• Organizing and executing the full cycle of Posyandu work programs routinely.
• Coordinating with the Village TP-Posyandu for activity implementation based on SPM standards.
• Preparing accurate reporting materials for the Village Head.

Responsibilities of the Cadres (Kader):

• Executing technical services directly to the community based on their assigned SPM field.
• Preparing the physical location, logistics, and equipment before opening days.
• Identifying service needs and identifying community targets within their area.
• Providing Communication, Information, and Education (KIE) to the residents.
• Compiling service data for the Managers’ periodic reports.

Deep Dive: The 6 Integrated Minimum Service Standards (SPM)

Under Permendagri 13/2024, the modern Posyandu must support six fundamental service areas:

1. The Education Field

Focuses on intellectual capacity and literacy. This includes supporting Early Childhood Education (PAUD), identifying village library needs, strengthening community digital literacy, and providing educational props.

2. The Healthcare Field

Comprehensive life-cycle services for mothers, infants, toddlers, adolescents, and the elderly. This includes nutrition counseling, early risk detection, and facilitating referrals to local health centers.

3. The Public Works Field

Supporting healthy infrastructure through clean water education, domestic waste management, and identifying needs for village road maintenance.

4. The Public Housing Field

Focusing on home quality through identifying needs for uninhabitable housing rehabilitation, promoting a clean environment, and encouraging home-based food cultivation via biopore or hydroponic systems.

5. The Public Order & Safety Field

Ensuring peace through disaster preparedness education, post-disaster trauma rehabilitation, and coordinating community security patrols.

6. The Social Field

Protecting vulnerable groups through gender equality education, accurate data collection of the poor, and facilitating the distribution of social aid.

Financial Rights and Incentive Mechanisms

All costs arising from this decree are charged to the 2026 APB Desa. The 2026 decree draft highlights a clear distinction in financial rights:

• Posyandu Cadres: Provided with regular monthly incentives as compensation for routine technical field tasks.
• Posyandu Managers: May be provided with incentives scaled to their managerial workload and the village’s fiscal capacity.

Conclusion: Data-Driven Humanity

Drafting a comprehensive decree for the Steering Team, Managers, and Cadres is the first step toward professional village governance. By explicitly detailing the 6 SPM duties, the village ensures that its Posyandu is a modern, responsive, and data-driven center for human development.
