This activity is a vital part of bureaucratic reform efforts to ensure the placement of Civil Servants is more objective and performance-based. ​In his statement, Gorontalo Provincial Regional Secretary Sofian Ibrahim explained that the assessment will be conducted on November 6, 7, and 10, 2025. Participants will consist of high-ranking officials (Echelon II), administrators (Echelon III), supervisors (Echelon IV), and a number of functional officials. ​”Through this assessment, we want to update the profile data of Civil Servants, not only in terms of job history and education but also their potential and competencies,” said Sofian when interviewed after the socialization on the implementation of TPP assessment, reduction, postponement, and information system, and the socialization of the ‘ASN of the Month’ award within the Gorontalo provincial government environment at the Governor’s Official Residence Hall on Tuesday (4/11/2025). ​According to Sofian’s explanation, the assessment results will be used to compile an ASN talent map integrated into the SIM ASN system. With this map, the Governor can place officials according to their respective abilities and potential, making assignment policies more transparent and fair. ​Head of the Gorontalo Provincial BKD (Regional Personnel Agency), Rifli Ka
