Iftitah Sulaiman Suryanagara said the\ninitiative aims to create new, sustainable economic growth areas for\ncommunities, particularly in transmigration regions. \u201cThe transformation\nof transmigration today is not simply about relocating people, but about\nensuring that prosperity can also grow in those areas,\u201d Iftitah said in\na statement on Wednesday (21 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>An approach centred on residents\u2019 welfare is also a priority for\nCoordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus\nHarimurti Yudhoyono (AHY). Together with the Patriot Expedition Team in\nJayapura, AHY has formulated various solutions tailored to local\ncommunities\u2019 needs and capacities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause the context of the problems is ultimately local. We can\nthink big, or use the phrase \u2018think globally but act locally\u2019.\nUltimately, it is local,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Through the Foodpreneur School, developed by the government with the\nUniversity of Brawijaya\u2019s Patriot Expedition Team (TEP UB), participants\nare receiving support to develop processed food businesses using local\ningredients.<\/p>\n<p>The programme has been implemented with farmers\u2019 wives in the\nKlamono-Segun Transmigration Area in South-west Papua.<\/p>\n<p>Dina Aqilla, a TEP UB member in Klamono-Segun, said the area\u2019s\nagricultural potential is being linked with food-processing skills and\nmarket opportunities.
