PT Agincourt Resources, the operator of the Martabe gold mine, has won two "Tambang Menyejahterakan Masyarakat" (Tamasya) awards from the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).

"We are committed to creating added value and positive impacts for all stakeholders, supporting community and local economic development, while contributing to long-term sustainable improvements in quality of life," said Ruli Tanio, Vice President Director of PT Agincourt Resources, in a statement received in Medan on Friday.

The company also received seven awards at the 2024 Indonesian Sustainable Development Award (ISDA), recognizing its flagship programs for community development and empowerment that support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Ruli stated that these awards are concrete evidence of the company’s ongoing efforts and contributions to community welfare, environmental sustainability, and economic growth, particularly in achieving SDGs related to goals two and thirteen.

"The Tamasya Award and ISDA are a great motivation for us to continue innovating and making greater contributions to community empowerment, in collaboration with stakeholders to achieve sustainable development goals," Ruli said.

The Tamasya Award, held on November 26, 2024, as part of the closing ceremony of the Minerba Expo, saw PT Agincourt Resources win two awards in the categories of planning and implementation in the field of economic independence.

The awards were received directly by the Director of Agincourt Resources, Noviandri. The company also participated in the Minerba Expo, showcasing culinary products developed by the company’s community initiatives.

The company received four gold awards for its programs supporting women's groups through culinary and makeup artist training, revitalizing traditional "lubuk larangan" (fish conservation areas), coaching talented young athletes in the local community, and improving education quality through infrastructure development. Additionally, a Silver award was given for the media capacity-building program and the Agincourt Resources Olympics.

At the ISDA, held on November 28, 2024, PT Agincourt Resources won the platinum award for its efforts in tackling stunting (malnutrition) through the "Bapak Asuh Anak Stunting" (BAAS) program, revitalizing integrated health posts (posyandu), and providing mobile healthcare services.

Rohani Simbolon, Manager of Community Development at Agincourt Resources, explained that the company works in collaboration with the South Tapanuli Health Office, Batang Toru Health Center, and other local authorities to address stunting.

The three key programs being implemented include revitalizing posyandu, which now operates in 14 villages, the BAAS program, and mobile healthcare services through free medical outreach to villages far from health facilities.

"We understand that stunting is a nutritional problem that has various impacts and affects the future generation. Addressing stunting requires not only curative actions but also preventive and sustainable measures," said Rohani.

PT Agincourt Resources continues to enhance its stunting intervention programs by encouraging the posyandu it has supported to develop innovative programs and establish a peer educator-based community to ensure the sustainability of the programs.

One resident of Batang Toru Subdistrict, Tetty Lanna Sari Hasibuan, who has benefited from the BAAS program, shared her experience: "This program is excellent because every two weeks, my child is checked by a pediatrician and receives milk and vitamins as prescribed at the Batang Toru Posyandu."
