Prodamas is a grant program that is actually presented by the Kediri City government to increase community participation in infrastructure and human development in the City of Kediri.

The indicator, the incumbent campaign program for the Kediri City elections in 2018 is to increase the number of Prodamas funds up to twice (Prodamas Plus), although in practice Prodamas still has many implementation problems. Secondly, the Socialization of Prodamas Plus has been socialized long before the momentum of the Kediri 2018 regional election. Third, Prodamas social assistance which is only given to a number of Kelurahan without clear indicators.
