The government is speeding to complete all infrastructure development in Papua. This is in accordance with Presidential Instruction No. 9 of 2020 which is the foundation of the government's commitment to solving the root problems experienced by the Papuan people.
Starting on September 29, 2020, when President Joko Widodo issued instructions on the Acceleration of Welfare Development in the Provinces of Papua and West Papua, there were special orders for ministers, TNI, Polri, and state institutions, as well as local governments (Pemda). They are asked to take breakthrough, integrated, precise, focused, and synergistic steps according to their respective duties, functions and authorities in a coordinated and integrated manner. The goal is to accelerate the development of welfare in Papua and West Papua.
Next, the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) responded. So far, various paths have been taken. That, road map updates and sharpening of focus really need to be carried out. That is also what Bappenas did. The Minister of National Development Planning (PPN)/Head of Bappenas, Suharso Monoarfa, needs to underline that all the efforts taken so far have also yielded tangible results.
"A comprehensive strategy for Papua has been carried out from various perspectives since the era of special autonomy (otsus) in 2001, both adopted by the central government and regional governments," he said.
The results are concrete. The significant change, according to Minister Monoarfa, is reflected in the decrease in the percentage of the poor, from 54.75 percent in March 1999 to 26.55 percent in September 2019. As stated by the Minister of National Development Planning/Head of Bappenas on the official website of bappenas.go.id, it is not yet this long.
However, in subsequent developments, according to the Head of Bappenas, a design for accelerating welfare development in Papua and West Papua has now emerged, and it includes seven strategic steps. First, the government agrees that the special autonomy framework in accordance with Law 21/2001 on Special Autonomy for the Papua Province is an asymmetric, affirmative, and contextual step in managing development, local government, and public services in Papua.
In the context of the sectoral regulatory framework to the budgetary framework, Otsus can ignite a new spirit of policy formulation specifically for Papua, both at the central and regional levels. Second, Otsus has pushed for political decentralization which has opened up space for indigenous Papuans (OAP) to participate in local government. OAP as governors, regents and mayors recognizes cultural specificities through the presence of the Papuan People's Assembly since 2004, and has formed new districts since 2002 to accelerate services for Papuan people in remote areas. This means that the authority to manage development is in the hands of the Papuan people, according to local needs and wisdom.
Third, Otsus serves as a guide for the government in the special design of accelerated development in Papua, through Presidential Instruction No. 9 of 2017 concerning the Acceleration of Welfare Development in Papua Province and West Papua Province and most recently, Presidential Instruction No. 9 of 2020 regarding the same matter. This Presidential Instruction is evidence of partisanship in the Papuan context with a focus on Papuan human resources, the people's economy from upstream to downstream, integrated regional infrastructure, sustainable development, and better governance.
"The Indonesian government encourages priority activities that are quick wins in various districts/cities according to customary territories and strengthens partnerships with various local figures in various sectors for the implementation of development from 2021 to 2024," said Minister Suharso.
Fourth, referring to President Joko Widodo's steps in adopting a cultural approach to customary and ecological areas, in national development planning, both in the 2015-2019 National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and 2020-2024 RPJMN. The seven customary areas approach in Papua includes the traditional territories of Saireri, Tabi, Laa Pago, Mee Pago, Animha, Domberai, and Bomberai. The policy and implementation strategies are expected to be in accordance with the needs, aspirations, and local wisdom in Papua and West Papua.
Fifth, the commitment to empower OAP in the ranks of ministries/agencies, TNI/Polri, and BUMN. In particular, President Joko Widodo issued Presidential Regulation No. 17/2019 concerning the Procurement of Goods and Services in the Context of Accelerating Welfare Development in Papua and West Papua. The Presidential Regulation encourages ministries/institutions and local governments to take sides in increasing the capacity of Papuan business actors, including an important breakthrough for OAP entrepreneurs to participate in direct procurement of construction works with a maximum value of IDR 1,000,000,000.
In particular, OAP entrepreneurs can also participate in tenders whose participants are limited to Papuan business actors for construction works with a value of at least more than IDR 1,000,000,000 and a maximum of IDR 2,500,000,000. This affirmative policy is also aimed at creating entrepreneurs among OAPs.
Sixth, the government has also designated Papua Province as the host of the XX PON which was postponed to October 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a historic moment to raise the pride and identity of the OAP, as well as to drive regional economic equality for all levels of Papuan society. In accordance with the mandate of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo, PON is not only a sports competition, but also acts as a common arena to celebrate diversity, strengthen the spirit of brotherhood, and strengthen unity and integrity.
XX PON 2020 which will be held in three cities/regencies, namely Jayapura City, Jayapura Regency, and Mimika Regency, and Merauke Regency as a buffer district will compete in 37 sports (sports), including aerosports, fencing, badminton, chess, rowing. , wrestling, judo, shooting, muaythai, archery, gymnastics, sepak takraw, roller skating, taekwondo, fighting drajat, tennis, boxing, to wushu and several other sports.
Seventh, various holistic and affirmative approaches, strategies and policies for Papua are based on ongoing global conditions, including climate change adaptation, disaster resilience, gender and social inclusion, collaborative and open governance, and human security. In this case, several new initiatives were carried out, such as the implementation of the Low Carbon Development Initiative in West Papua, the initiation of Green Economic Growth for Papua, to the development of digital-based villages in Papua and West Papua.
“The government is open to hearing various suggestions and input from stakeholders to manage development in Papua. Our common basic principle is the acceleration of humanist, sustainable and inclusive Papua development, which is oriented towards the fulfillment of the basic rights of the Papuan people within the framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," said Minister Suharso.
