Papua and West Papua are an inseparable part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, the easternmost region is one of the government's focuses in developing human, economic and socio-cultural human resources for equitable development.
Quality Human Resources (HR) will of course be able to support the handling of problems in the fields of education, health, infrastructure, people's economy and regional connectivity. This was conveyed by the expert staff of the Governor of Papua for Social Welfare and Human Resources, Anni Rumbiak, in Jayapua.

It's just that to achieve this, policy support and synergy as well as integration are needed in its implementation. Therefore, his party encourages the planning of human resource needs that are spread in five customary areas. However, the selection system must be transparent and accountable and proportional according to the customary area and area of expertise.
Meanwhile, following up on President Jokowi's instructions and commitment in improving the level of education and development of Human Resources (HR) in Papua and West Papua, two new national standard campuses will soon be built and operational, namely Campus II UNCEN Faculty of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in the Archipelago Regency. Yapen and Okmin University Campus in Oxibil District.
On the occasion of the Indonesian President's speech, Jokowi emphasized 2 things, namely the commitment to develop the Land of Papua through increasing the Special Autonomy Fund to 2.25% and improving Otsus governance, as well as focusing on improving the quality of human resources, to encourage accelerated development, including through higher education.

The seriousness of the central government in developing Papua by giving full authority through law number 21 of 2001 concerning Papua's special autonomy until the issuance of Presidential Instruction No. 9 of 2020 concerning the acceleration of development in Papua and West Papua.
Various development program policies were carried out in the two easternmost provinces of Indonesia with the aim of reducing poverty, reducing the cost index and equitable distribution of infrastructure development facilities. The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing shows that in the 2021 budget year, the infrastructure development budget allocation of the Ministry of Public Works for Public Housing (PUPR) for Papua Province reached Rp 6.12 trillion.

In addition, we need to know that Papua consists of ethnic diversity and has such rich natural potential. The wealth includes the mining, marine, fisheries, plantation sectors and has a unique variety of cultures. So that the potential possessed by Papua must be managed professionally and sustainably.
