The government is very aggressive in building infrastructure in Papua. The program is a form of President Jokowi's concern to create people's welfare and advance Papua.
Many people were amazed when they saw the progress of Papua which was shown during the live broadcast of PON XX in 2021. So far, Bumi Cendrawasih has become a modern area, thanks to massive infrastructure development. There is no longer any proverb about Papua which is not yet developed or has a big gap with other regions, because the area has been built very beautifully.
Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimulyono, stated that the Ministry of PUPR is committed to building infrastructure in Papua and West Papua. The goal is to reduce poverty, equitable infrastructure development, and reduce the cost index.
Since the beginning of the era of President Jokowi's administration in 2014, various infrastructures have been built in Papua. Among them are Youtefa Bridge, Trans Papua Road, and others. This infrastructure will be very useful because it facilitates community mobility. So far, people, especially in remote areas, find it a bit difficult to drive because the roads are not yet proper. But with the construction of new roads will make it easier for them.
Apart from facilitating community mobility, infrastructure also supports the economy of the Papuan people. If there are representative roads and bridges, then there are means to integrate between regions. Especially in areas that become producers (such as processed sago and other agricultural products), and it will be easy to distribute them to other cities or regencies. As a result, the community's economy will improve.
With various infrastructure developments, the price of basic necessities can be lowered. So far, the high commodity prices are due to high shipping costs due to using small planes. In Cendrawasih Earth, the geographical conditions are indeed winding, there are lands, mountains, hills, so that air transportation is very common.
However, when there is the Trans Papua Road or other roads, transportation can be diverted to land routes. As a result, the cost of shipping goods can be reduced, because the cost is not as expensive as an airplane. Prices of goods in Papua can be lowered and the cost index is gradually decreasing. People are more prosperous because the spending budget is reduced because the price is cheaper.
Minister Basuki added that the PUPR Ministry is also building other infrastructure in the form of public housing, Border Crossing Posts, and Papua Border Roads. In a sense, the government will not only focus on road construction, but also on improving transportation facilities in border areas. If people in the border areas can move well, then access to various goods and services will be easier.
Public housing is also needed so that the Papuan people can live properly. With the construction of representative housing, people's lives will be more comfortable. With the presence of a representative house is also expected to maintain the quality of public health.
Development in Papua does not only focus on roads, bridges, and housing, but also sanitation improvements. Every house is made to have toilet facilities that are clean and in accordance with health standards. Do not let the house is already standing, but the bathroom is not proper, because it can cause various dangerous diseases.
The government builds various infrastructures in Papua such as roads, bridges, and others. With the equitable distribution of development, the prosperity of the Papuan people can be realized immediately.
