The Ministry of National Development Planning\/National Development\nPlanning Agency (PPN\/Bappenas) has stated that the National Development\nAwards (PPD) are expected to become a comprehensive evaluation\ninstrument that provides feedback to improve the quality of planning and\nthe performance of National Priority implementation in the regions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that the PPD does not merely serve as an award instrument,\nbut can also act as feedback for the quality of regional planning and\ndevelopment performance,\u201d said the Deputy for Development Control,\nEvaluation, and Risk Management at Bappenas, Tri Dewi Virgiyanti, in\nJakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to her, for the 2026 PPD, all provinces will participate in\nthe selection without exception. Meanwhile, at the regency level, 334\nout of 416 have submitted entries, while at the city level, 86 out of 94\nhave participated.<\/p>\n
She noted that since the awards began in 2011, participation has\nincreased year by year, and the number of nominees has also been\nexpanded, particularly for newly formed regions.<\/p>\n
Virgiyanti expressed hope that the excellence demonstrated through\nthese awards could be shared with other regions to ensure that\ndevelopment is distributed evenly across Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best practices identified should not stop at one region, but\nshould be replicable across all other regions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Regarding the judging process, she stated that it is conducted by\nprofessionals, prominent figures, and academics, using several\nassessment criteria ranging from programme planning and development\nachievements to innovation.<\/p>\n
Previously, the Minister of PPN\/Head of Bappenas, Rachmat Pambudy,\nstated that the 2026 PPD awards serve as appreciation for achievements\nin planning quality, development performance, and innovation. The theme\nfor this year is \u201cPlanning and Implementation Performance of National\nPriorities in the Regions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want the regional development planning to occur not only at the\nprovincial, regency, city, and sub-district levels, but ideally, it\nshould extend down to the village level,\u201d said Minister Pambudy.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bappenas-hopes-national-development-awards-can-improve-regional-planning-quality-1790787530", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
