The government is calling on the people of Papua, particularly the\nyounger generation, to work together to maintain a safe and conducive\nsituation amidst the acceleration of regional development. The public is\nalso urged not to be easily influenced by provocations that could\ndisrupt development activities and to express aspirations through\navailable dialogue spaces and mechanisms.<\/p>\n
This message accompanies the government\u2019s commitment to accelerating\ndevelopment in Papua through the strengthening of basic infrastructure,\nconnectivity, education, and health. The government considers a safe\nsocial condition to be a vital factor in ensuring that various\nprogrammes can run sustainably and that their benefits are felt by the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
The Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional\nDevelopment, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), stated that development in\nPapua must be carried out comprehensively, taking into account the basic\nneeds of the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to the roads I mentioned earlier, clean water, decent\nhousing, sanitation, drainage, electricity, and so on. It is hoped that\nonce these conditions are improved, the quality of life for the\ncommunity will increase,\u201d said ARL, as quoted on Wednesday, 23 September\n2026.<\/p>\n
According to AHY, infrastructure development must go hand in hand\nwith improving the quality of human resources. Therefore, the education\nand health sectors are essential parts of the Papua development agenda,\nincluding through the \u2018Sekolah Rakyat\u2019 (People\u2019s School) programme,\nschool revitalisation, and the strengthening of community health centre\n(puskesmas) and hospital facilities.<\/p>\n
The government is also encouraging the strengthening of\ninter-regional connectivity to open access to areas that have previously\nfaced transportation limitations. Improved connectivity is expected to\nsupport community mobility and the distribution of basic necessities,\nwhile simultaneously creating new economic opportunities.<\/p>\n
AHY emphasised that accelerating development requires synergy between\nthe central and regional governments, including in resolving spatial\nplanning and land status issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe central and regional governments are one and the same team. We\nare not facing off against each other, nor are we looking for who is\nright or who is wrong,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
In addition to pursuing economic growth and increased welfare, the\ngovernment ensures that development continues to respect the\nenvironmental sustainability of Papua.<\/p>\n
Alongside the acceleration of development, the government invites all\nelements of society to maintain the security and stability of the\nregion. The expression of aspirations, including those related to\ndevelopment policies, is expected to be conducted through dialogue\nspaces and available mechanisms so that they can be discussed\nconstructively.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/government-accelerates-papua-development-urges-public-to-maintain-stability-1790124811", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
