Jakarta – The central government is accelerating the development in the Papua region to overcome the development gap between Papua and other regions in Indonesia. Home Affairs Minister Muhammad Tito Karnavian emphasized that the synchronization of central and regional government programs is an important key to realizing this acceleration. Tito explained that the government has implemented different policies to accelerate progress in the Papua region. This policy includes the implementation of special autonomy (OTSUs) that provides the award of special autonomous funds for the development of Papua. In addition, the government has also expanded the Papua region from only two provinces, now to six provinces. One of the reasons for this expansion is to shorten the extent of government control and improve public services, taking into account the large area of Papua.

And at that time we had a meeting with the DPR and the government, the DPR was also represented by Papua representatives, the DPD and Papua also expressed their agreement,” Tito explained in his statement on Monday (13/10/2025). He conveyed it when he received an audience from the executive committee to accelerate the development of special autonomy for Papua. The meeting took place on Monday (13/10/2025) in the main course of the Head Office of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), Jakarta. He revealed that the birth of six provinces in Papua was the result of people’s pursuit that was directly conveyed to the president during visits to different regions of Papua. The government and DPR then approved the expansion, taking into account the large geographical area, as well as the low human development index (HDI) in Papua compared to other regions. “We hope that there will be rapid development in Papua with this expansion. It happened [alur] Short bureaucracy [sehingga pelayanan publik semakin mudah diakses]”He explained. Tito also gave examples of different regions in Indonesia that developed rapidly after expansion. One was the expansion model as in South Sumatra, which proved that it is effective in improving services and regional growth. He also hopes that this progress can also occur in the Papua region. ‘ Tito focused on development and easier, simpler bureaucratic ways, “he said. Furthermore, Tito emphasized the weaknesses that still exist. Coordination of inter-agencies in the implementation of development programs in Papuea. But the problem is these synchronize these programs? “Because these central level programs move separately,” he said. Tito explained that the existence of the Executive Committee for the acceleration of special autonomy development in Papua and the management committee for accelerating special autonomy development in Papua (BP3OkP) was important tools for the harmonization of programs on ministries, provinces and districts/cities. “The most important task is to synchronize and harmonize programs that have never been implemented so far,” he explained. He added that these bodies were formed so that development in Papua would no longer walk separately and performed in an integrated way. Tito also requested that supervision of the implementation of the program be conducted directly in the field, not just based on administrative reports. “Supervision is not just on paper, meetings are not just on paper.” Really went down to see what was planned, ‘he concluded. For your information, also present at the meeting was the chair of the Executive Committee for the development of the development of special autonomy for Papua Velix Vernando Wanggai, along with other members. Then the government ruler of Papua Mathius D. Fakhir was down. Aryoko Alberto Ferdinand Rumaropen, BP3OKP members of six provinces, and other related officials.
